Black-bottomed pies have a crust made of crushed chocolate chip wafers or cookies and custard or ice cream filling. Various flavors can be added, and toppings like caramel, whipped cream, and nuts can be added. Any type of chocolate chip cookie can be used for the crust.
A black-bottomed pie is any pie with a crust made of crushed chocolate chip wafers or cookies. The fillings are usually custard-based or ice cream-based. Many types of flavorings can be used while making the cake.
Vanilla, coffee, and even alcohol like rum or brandy can flavor the creamy custard or ice cream filling of a black-bottomed pie. If using ice cream, you can add a layer of ice cream inside the pie crust and then spoon on the flavoring in a drizzling motion before adding another layer of ice cream. Keep the cake frozen and let it sit for ten minutes at room temperature before serving so the cake is soft enough to cut. Toppings such as caramel, whipped cream and/or nuts can be added to the ice cream black bottom cake.
Virtually any flavor of filling can be used in a black bottom pie. Lemon, raspberry, and mint are just a few of the possibilities, but the list is only limited by your imagination. You can also use deliciously decadent fillings like caramel and chocolate.
Chocolate is probably the most popular flavor for a black bottom cake, and you can add chocolate curls to the top for a triple chocolate effect. Some chocolate cakes are made with gelatin to thicken the custard filling, while others use cornstarch alone for thickening. Bittersweet or unsweetened chocolate is usually used to make the filling.
You can crush any type of chocolate chip cookie or wafer to make a black bottom pie crust. Place one layer of cookies at a time on a cutting board, cover with wax paper or foil, and use a rolling pin to flatten the cookies. The bottom of a glass could also be used as a “crusher”. Pecans or other nuts can be crushed and added to cookie crumbs, along with melted butter, or you can use just the chocolate chip cookie crumbs by themselves.
