Ingredients

  • 3 packages Nyåker Gingersnap Cookies
  • 2 tbsp. Lavazza Caffe Espresso Whole Bean Coffee, prepared
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
  • 16 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup Mediterranean Tahini Sesame Paste
  • 1/2 tsp Dr. Oetker Whip It Stabilizer
  • Grandma Hoerner’s Salted Caramel Chocolate Pecan Pie Filling
  • Guittard Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bars

Directions

Step 1

For the gingersnap crust, place gingersnaps, espresso and melted butter into a food processor and pulse until a crumble forms and the mixture sticks to itself. Transfer into a 10-inch tart pan and firmly press into the form to create. (Tip: Use the back of a measuring spoon to get it nice, smooth and even.) Set aside in the fridge while making the filling.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl beat heavy cream, sugar, sea salt, whip it stabilizer and vanilla extract together until evenly combined and stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Fold in mascarpone and tahini until consistent, fluffy and smooth.

Step 4

When ready, remove crust from the fridge and add pecan pie filling on top. Then, carefully layer on mascarpone mousse.

Step 5

Garnish with curls of Guittard Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bars, then transfer the pie back into the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour. When ready, slice into, share and enjoy!
