Fugdey Cashew Pie All Dressed Up

By nannjudd

This pie is decadent and delicious and extremely easy and fast to make. It's a dazzling dessert that really makes a Wow presentation and is literally the 'piece de resistance' of any meal. Smaller pieces are encouraged as the pie is so very rich. But one bite will convince you that it is one of the best if not the best chocolate dessert you have ever put in your mouth. The warm hot fudge, real whipped cream and chocolate curls make it over the top fabulous. And adding the optional berries and mint dresses it up and makes it an impressive dessert that is perfect for the holidays.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Put white sugar, brown sugar and flour into a
medium bowl. Mix until blended. Add eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla and mix until well blended. Add melted chocolate and incorporate into mixture. Add Cashews and mix again. Pour batter into unbaked pie shell(s). Bake for 10 minutes and after 10 minutes lower oven heat to 350 degrees and shield pie edges with aluminum foil wrapped around the fluted pie crust edge.(the pie crust edges will get way to dark if you don’t). Bake a total of about 50 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until completely set Note: If using a deep dish pie shell baking time may need to be longer. When pie is done remove from oven and cool completely.

Make Chocolate Curls: While pie is baking, open chocolate bar and with a vegetable peeler press against the chocolate on the long narrow edge pulling peeler to make curls letting fall onto a plate. When finished making desired number, put plate in freezer to keep cold.

To Serve: Cut pie into 8 - 10 or more pieces. Drizzle hot fudge over each plated piece of pie. Put a mound of the whipped cream on top of each piece and sprinkle the chocolate curls on top.
If desired add two or three small red berries and a mint leaf on whipped cream for an additional garnish to give the pie a 'holiday' feel.
