Move over, eggnog and cocoa. This cool and creamy pie—spiked with Celebration IPA and topped with whipped cream and candied ginger—is the holiday treat your guests really want.
Part 1: Tart Dough
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 5 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 8 Tbsp (1 stick) butter, unsalted
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp water
- Zest of 1 orange
Step 1
Dice butter and keep cold. Using a food processor mix the flour, zest, salt, and sugar using the blade
attachment. Add the butter and pulse to pea-size consistency. Add the egg and water, pulse until dough comes
together and is smooth.
Step 2
Remove the dough, press into a disk, and wrap with plastic wrap. Rest at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Pull dough from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Flour your working surface and roll the dough evenly into a 12-inch circle. Press into a 9-inch tart pan, with a removable bottom. Using a sharp knife trim the edges of the dough to fit the pan. Cover and freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place a parchment paper over crust and fill with pie weights (dried beans or rice are good options).
Step 5
Bake 20 minutes, then remove pie weights and parchment. Bake an additional 10 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Part 2: Celebration Chocolate Filling
Ingredients
- 1 cup Celebration IPA
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- 1 ¼ cup heavy cream
- 9 oz semisweet chocolate
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch kosher salt
Step 1
Combine Celebration IPA and sugar in a small saucepan and reduce over medium-low heat to ¼ cup. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Combine chocolate, salt, vanilla, and 3 Tbsp Celebration IPA reduction to a heat-proof bowl.
Step 3
Place heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. *Be careful, heavy cream will boil over very quickly.* Pour hot heavy cream over chocolate mixture and allow to sit 5 minutes.
Step 4
Whisk until mixture is melted, incorporated, and smooth. Pour chocolate mixture into the cooled tart crust, spread evenly. Chill for at least 2 hours, until set.
Part 3: Whipped Topping & Candied Ginger
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp candied ginger, finely chopped
Step 1
Add cold heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Keep all your ingredients very cold, you can even refrigerate your bowl ahead of time.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer with whisk attachment, start whisking on low speed and increase speed as cream thickens. Whisk until medium peaks are formed.
Step 3
Spread on top of the completely cooled and set chocolate tart, sprinkle with candied ginger.
