Rum flavoring adds a touch of complexity to this rich chocolate pie. If you’re beyond Induction, you can substitute 1 1/2 tablespoons rum for the rum extract.
Pie Crust:
177 ml plus 2 tablespoons Atkins Quick Quisine™ Bake Mix
4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature, cut into small pieces
89 ml cream cheese, at room temperature, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon sour cream
Filling:
354 ml heavy cream, divided
4 tablespoons water, divided
89 ml unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
59 ml unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
177 ml granular sugar substitute
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional)
Fresh mint leaves (optional) us
1. For the pie crust: In a food processor, combine bake mix, butter, cream cheese and sour cream; process just until mixed and dough holds together. Form into a ball, then shape into a disc. Wrap well in plastic and chill for 20 minutes.
2. Reserve one-quarter of dough. From remaining dough, pinch off small (1/2-inch) balls of dough and evenly distribute on bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers, evenly press dough onto bottom and sides to form a crust. Using reserved dough and following the same method, form a rim around the top edge of crust; using the tines of a fork, lightly press into rim of pastry to make an attractive border. Prick bottom with fork. Chill for 30 minutes in freezer.
3. Heat oven to 425°F. Using small strips of aluminum foil, carefully crimp over edge of crust (to prevent over-browning). Loosely tent a sheet of foil over entire crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and bake 10 minutes. Carefully remove tent and crimped foil on crust edge (edge will be very fragile). Return to oven and bake until golden brown, about 1 minute more. Cool completely on a wire rack.
4. For the filling: Place 3/4 cup of the cream, 2 tablespoons of the water, chocolate and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks, 1/4 cup cream, remaining 2 tablespoons water and the sugar substitute together until blended. Whisk chocolate mixture until smooth. Gradually whisk one-third of the chocolate mixture into the egg-yolk mixture; add to saucepan with remaining chocolate mixture and whisk to combine. Return to heat and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes (DO NOT OVERCOOK). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Stir in rum and vanilla extracts.
6. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat remaining 1/2 cup cream to soft peaks. Fold in chocolate mixture, folding just until blended and no streaks appear. Pour into prepared pie crust and smooth top. Chill until set, at least 4 hours. (The pie can be made prepare up to this point and chilled overnight.) Top with whipped cream and garnish with mint leaves.

Sprinkle meringue squares with almonds before serving.
The crust and lemon filling can be made up to one day ahead. Refrigerate filling in an airtight container. Store crust at room temperature. On the day of serving, follow step 4 to prepare meringue and assemble as instructed in step 5.

Super silky in texture, with an intriguing, delicately sweet flavor, this baked dessert custard is currently popular at many upscale restaurants. Earl Grey is a black tea made fragrant with bergamot oil.
43 grams unsweetened baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
236 ml heavy or whipping cream
157 ml water
3 Earl Grey tea bags
4 large egg yolks 5 tablespoons granular sugar substitute
Whipped cream, sweetened with sugar substitute (optional) us
1. Heat oven to 325°F. Place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring cream and water to a simmer. Remove from heat. Pour just enough cream mixture over chocolate to cover (about 1/2 cup).
2. Add tea bags to remaining cream mixture in saucepan and let steep 10 minutes. Squeeze tea bags over mixture and remove.
3. Whisk chocolate mixture until smooth. Whisk egg yolks and sugar substitute into the warm cream mixture in saucepan until well mixed, then whisk in the chocolate until smooth.
4. Pour mixture through a strainer into four 4-ounce ramekins or custard cups. Place cups in a large roasting pan. Place roasting pan in oven and carefully pour boiling water into pan until water comes halfway up sides of cups. Cover entire pan with foil and bake 33 to 35 minutes, until custards are set but slightly jiggly in center. Let stand in pan at room temperature 15 minutes.
5. Remove cups, cover with plastic wrap (stretch wrap over edges of cup so wrap does not touch custard) and refrigerate until cold. Serve topped with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Pamela says “Hubby calls this my best ‘diet’ dessert.” It is indeed delicious. You’ll have about ½ cup filling left over, which you can simply bake in a custard cup.

3. Pour filling into prepared crust. Bake 5 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350ºF and bake 15 minutes more or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, then transfer to refrigerator to chill completely.

Disse oppskriftene så helt herlige ut. Er det noen som har prøvd de???
Jeg synes pannekaker (og pizza bunn) med atkins bake mix blir litt merkelige i smaken... så jeg er litt skeptisk til å bake med den...
Har to bokser i skapet jeg (arva av en venninde). Har brukt i brød (hadde ikke nok protein pulver). Merkelig smak...... Har ikke brukt det mer enn det. :cool:
Når jeg lager pannekaker av bake mixen blir de bestandig MYYYYE bedre enn med soyaprotein. Trikset er å ha masse egg, masse rømme og masse smør i, og akkurat nok mix til å binde det hele sammen. Vanilje er også supergodt oppi.
Har også litt å bruke opp. Prøvde det i et brød og byttet ut noe av proteinpulveret, men det ble rart og rydde som bare det.
De engelske oppskriftene er for mye for meg, elendig i å finne ut av slike. Ønsker norske jeg :o
oj! Her var det masse å prøve...har fått tak i bakemixen på Smartklubb!!
