Does anyone really know what goes on behind the doors of a closed refrigerator? Do you think the eggs and the milk just have a plutonic relationship? Or how about the left over salsa and the cheese..do you think they silently stare at each other from across the dark, cool shelves? I mean, does the light even go off? Hmmmm? Well, I am hear to tell you that it is not so inocent when we close the fridge doors.
One night, after I had closed up the kitchen for the night, I put the kids to bed and slipped into a slumber. The next morning I woke up and made my necessary pot of coffee. I opened the fridge to get my creamer out and noticed something different, something very different. A dessert I had not seen before was in-front of me. Knowing very well my husband does not cook/bake and my kids had certainly not become culinary geniuses at the young ages of 5 and 7, there was only one explanation…. my fridge had become a literal red light district, a sexual underground if you will when the doors closed. Money was exchanged. Unspeakables happened. I dare not think of the dirty deeds that were done. This dessert is proof. Remember my Mocha Tart and my Mini Pies? Two totally separate desserts. Well until last night that is. I think the mocha tart was Mr. Suave and the poor mini pies were the unsuspecting victims. The courting that must have went on is mind blowing. Well I am glad my two desserts made happy sweet dessert love together. The result was heavenly.
WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA PIE
1 Pre Made Chocolate Graham Cracker Pie Crust(or make your own)
4 Ounces of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup Heavy Cream
1/4 cup Sugar
3/4 Tbsp Instant Espresso Powder
1 Bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt cream cheese.
Whisk in the heavy cream and sugar.
Add in the instant espresso powder and mix until combined.
Bring mixture to just under a boil(bubbles will be forming around the edges)
Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips and let sit 5 minutes without stirring.
After 5 minutes, whisk the chocolate until smooth.
Pour into your pie crust and place in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight until set.
This can be made several days in advance.
WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSE TOPPING
1 cup heavy cream
4 oz cream cheese, mixed until smooth
3 Tbsp Sugar
4 oz White Chocolate, chopped
4 oz White Chocolate, chopped
1 tsp vanilla
In a small saucepan, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil. Make a double boiler by placing a bowl on top on the saucepan with the boiling water so it fits snuggle over the top without touching the water.
Put the white chocolate in the bowl, and stir until completely melted. set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream, sugar with an electric mixer and vanilla until it starts to thicken.
Add the softened cream cheese in 3 parts, mixing well in-between each addition.
Whip to a whip creamed consistency.
Fold in the melted chocolate.
Spoon onto the chilled pie and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Hysterical! I am so making this pie- I was telling someone the other day how I have fantasized about Chocolate Silk—on the plate, not me, well maybe my upper lip…oh did I say that! LOL
What a cute blog. I know what you mean about the fridge!
OMG you are a riot!! And that pie, HEAVEN!
OK…where's the video???? I LOVE your videos! You could at least have shown us then dirty deeds going on in your fridge….
Ya know I have always wondered the same thing!!! Pie looks delish!
You are KILLIN' me! LMAO!
You're lucky, I think only my laundry get it on in my house….that is the only explanation for the irresponcible reproduction that happens there.
The eggs do not fraternize with the milk because they have their own eggy clique. 🙂
And if your fridge spontaneously makes pies, I want to trade.
So funny! But I want the pie-chocolate is my weakness!
LOL, that reminds me of a bit that Jerry Seinfeld did on the Tonight show years ago about what happens with your clothes in the washing machine 🙂
Looks delish
That looks totally crazy awesome good. I am a chocolate lover so this is perfect. Glad to see you back blogging again Leslie.
I love all this pie action!
Hilarious post! Looks delicious!
oo I can imagine the sweet sweet love =)
Maybe you should screw a red bulb into the fridge to give it more ambiance… you never know what might happen next! And although some might be grossed out at the idea of using your fridge as a food brothel… if it creates more things like this pie then who cares!!!
fun and well written post and wow what a dessert
Haha funny!(: This pie looks delicious! White chocolate and mocha go pretty well together.
I will never look at my fridge the same way again…especially when I am closing the door! This pie looks super tasty!
I want my cream and chocolate to make whoopie! This looks SINsational!
lol. How come I can never think of anything that funny when it's time to post?

Oh, that is a delightful combo! Your pie looks to die for.
Cheers,
Rosa
Oh my gosh I am going to have to try this! It looks so good! You make food sound like such a yummy art! I love it!
typically not a fan of white chocolate, but I would be very willing to eat a piece of this pie 😉
ooh yum what a gorgeous looking pie! can't go wrong with coffee and chocolate!
my favorite beverage from starbucks, or any coffee house for that matter, is a white chocolate mocha. you'd better believe this is now on the top of my to-make list!
Loving that your ingredients were frolicking in the fridge. Amazing what happens after dark 😉 Your White Chocolate Mocha Pie looks wonderful.
Did my first comment go through? If not….
You seemed to enjoy the table setting posts I did the last 2 years. Although I didn't do a table this time I have began this years posts today and for a few days. Peek if you are interested again. There were some nice ideas.
Hope all is well.
Good lord, girl. I feel my butt growing just by looking at this decadence.
You totally crack me up. Oh the sweet love….
Can I please have a slice with my coffee for breakfast? Pretty please? With sugar on top?
Yum a heavenly dessert and such shenanigans inside your fridge lol
O, that looks wonderful! I bet it was SO delicious. Yum!
Thanks Leslie, It just wasn't possible to do a table this year. I still have my job, but transportation is broke for a while. There are a few more days of tips coming. I hope all is well with you.
we need to get you your own show dammit. you got the skills hot momma. too funny. you rock.

I like your blog! I suscribed!! I have a housewife blog too, check it out at blogofayounghousewife.blogspot.com !!
WOW…all I can say is AMAZING!!!
I am in the process right now, of making this pie. I got to the topping part, where you state
"In a medium bowl, combine the cream, sugar "
but you don't list sugar in the ingredients for the topping. I really need to know what kind and how much to add! Please let me know ASAP…I'll put the bottom part of the pie in the fridge until I know.
Thanks a bunch!
Andrea…
OMG…thank you so very much for bringing up my mistake. It is 3 TBSP of Sugar for the topping!
I am off to fix it right away!!!!!
Let me know how you enjoy it!
