Strawberry chocolate pie.

If you have seen this intriguing video that was once viral on the social media, you would know how tempting it looked. I intentionally bought a rectangular pan with removable base and tried out the recipe.

This is the No-Bake Strawberry Chocolate Pie recipe shared by Home Cooking Adventure.

I made the pie for a farewell gathering and it was not too bad. I used chocolate compound and did not add any sugar, so the chocolate pie was rather bitter. If you prefer your dessert sweet, just follow the original recipe that calls for a combination of milk and bittersweet chocolate.

Following is my adapted recipe for a 20 x 8 cm pan.

Strawberry Chocolate Pie (serves 6-8)

For the crust:

200 g Oreo cookie crumbs

80 g butter, melted

1. Combine together crumbs and melted butter and mix thoroughly. Press to the bottom of the pan and then work your way up the sides. Leave in the freezer.

For the filling:

200 g dark chocolate compound

100 g whipping cream

3 strawberries, halved

1. Melt chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes, taking it out for a stir every 30 seconds.

2. Pour in cream. Let sit for a minute. Then stir to combine with chocolate.

3. Take out the pan. Pour the chocolate filling over crust.

4. Gently press the strawberry halves downward.

5. Chill the pie for the filling to set. It might take an hour or so, even more. 

As my filling was rather thick it did not take very long to set. The pie was retrieved from the fridge and survived under room temperature for 2 hours before it was served. The filling was rather gooey and the pie still retained its shape.

I would make this pie again (if there are people to share it with).
