Poison Pie

[shanmonster]

I can't believe I haven't posted the recipe for this, yet. Well, here goes.

This recipe was developed by elanya, and then I tinkered with it and made my own changes. We wanted to create a recipe for a pie that tastes both delicious and dangerous. We wanted a pie that Dark Elves might make. Yes, this pie was developed for LARP. It's made of rich, dark chocolate (the darker the better), almond (for that aroma of cyanide), and tastes vaguely like burning, thanks to the cayenne. Mmmm.....

Here you go!

- 1/2 c unsalted butter
- 2-3 oz (60 g) dark chocolate
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1/2 c light corn syrup
- 1/4 c all purpose flour
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 c ground almonds
- one 9 in. chocolate cookie crust
- dried chili pepper

Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler over hot water, or carefully in the microwave.
Pour this into a bowl and add the beaten eggs, then stir in the sugar, corn syrup, flour, almond extract, cayenne, salt, and ground almonds.
Pour filling into crust. Sprinkle a smidgen of ground chili peppers on top for garnish. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Watch carefully and do not take the pie out of the oven until the top looks dry.

I made something like this once, it was called Schadenfreude Pie. It was dark and sticky and evil-looking and was incredibly rich to eat.

1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 splash Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
1 graham cracker pie crust (9 or 10 inches). Choose regular or chocolate graham cracker crust according to taste.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees (Fahrenheit). Melt butter in largish mixing bowl; add in corn syrup, molasses, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well. Melt chocolate; fold into existing mixture. Add eggs and Kahlua; mix vigorously until mix has an even consistency. Pour into pie crust (depending on size of crust you may have a little filling mix left over; I did).

Shove into oven, center of middle rack, and bake for about 45 minutes. At 45 minutes, poke pie with butter knife. If butter knife comes out clean, your pie is done; otherwise give it about another five minutes.

Once you take the pie out of the oven, let it set at least 20 minutes before you dig in. It’s really good when still warm, however.

Serving recommendations: small slices (this is an awesomely rich pie) and an ice cold glass of milk to go with it.
