The Lady mentioned this heavenly chocolate pie in her Wisconsin trip logs. You can read about the Crave Brothers Sustainable Farm and Farmstead cheeses by clicking here. What they have and continue to do to be a carbon-negative facility is beyond impressive.

Here it their recipe for the chocolate mascarpone pie that took The Lady’s breath away…no easy feat…trust me…

Crumb crust:

1 cup chocolate wafer cookie crumbs (The Lady thinks you could substitute Oreo cookie crumbs…be sure and use the filling in another application…like eating it…)

3 Tbsp. sugar

¼ cup butter, melted, plus more for pan

 Filling:

16 oz. Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics Mascarpone

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted

2 Tbsp. Kahlua or Amaretto

 For the crust:  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Butter a 9-inch pie pan.  Stir the cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter together.  Press the crumbs evenly in the pan.  Bake six minutes.  Set aside to cool. (Or you can purchase an oreo cookie crust.)

 For the filling:  In a large bowl and using a large spoon, stir the mascarpone and melted chocolate together until blended and no white streaks remain.  Stir in the Kahlua or Amaretto.  Immediately spread the filling in the cooled crust.  Cover and refrigerate one hour.  Serve with whipped cream.  Serves 8.
