Chocolate Tantric Pie
Adapted from Esalen Cookbook, by Charlie Cascio This lush, chocolate pie is guaranteed to add some sweet heat to your Valentine's meal. Of its six ingredients, four of them are thought to be aphrodisiacal: Chocolate, almonds, ginger and chile. Powers of attraction aside, this recipe for Chocolate Tantric Pie is unusual and delicious, and is as easy as pie to prepare. This is a sweet chocolate pie with the spicy bite of ginger and cayenne pepper. It's guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth, internally warm your belly, and give you that unmistakable tantric glow. There is very little work to creating this dessert. For a gluten-free version, omit the pie shell for a no-bake flourless torte. You can also pour the pie mixture into a baking dish, just cool before cutting into squares and serve like fudge. 11/2 cups organic half-and-half or whipping cream 3 cups semisweet organic chocolate chips 1 cup chopped almonds 1 cup chopped candied ginger 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) 9-inch pie crust Over medium heat, bring half-and half or whipping cream to a simmer in a 1-quart saucepan, stirring to prevent scorching on the bottom. Whisk as you slowly pour the chocolate chips into the cream and continue to stir until the chocolate has melted. Stir in half the almonds and half the ginger. Stir in cayenne if using. Pour mixture into a pre-baked 9-inch pie shell. Sprinkle and remaining almonds and ginger on top. Cool until firm, slice, and serve. Serves 8. -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia D.
