"A friend brought this to a dinner party, and it was so wonderful I had to have the recipe. If I make it again, I might strain the orange marmalade first, as I feel it doesn't really fit the texture of the rest of the pie. If you use it as is, be prepared for a very creamy pie with a layer of small orange chunks in between the filling and the crust. For the chocolate cookie wafers, you could either use Nabisco Famous cookie wafers, or Oreos taken apart with the filling scraped out. All substitutions listed in the recipe were suggested by the original chef."

ingredients

Cookie Crust
24 chocolate wafer cookies
59.14 ml unsalted butter, melted
78.78 ml orange marmalade
Filling
283.49 g semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces or 283.49 g chocolate chips
3 (680.38 g) container mascarpone cheese or (680.38 g) container cream cheese, at room temperature
78.78 ml confectioners' sugar
44.37 44.37 ml orange juice or 44.37 ml triple sec
1.23 ml salt

directions

For the crust, heat oven to 350 degrees F. You’ll need a 9 inch pie plate.
Pulse cookies in food processor until fine crumbs; add butter and process until blended. Press mixture evenly into bottom and sides of pie plate. Bake 12 minutes; cool on wire rack. Spread marmalade over the cooled cookie crust.
For the filling, microwave chocolate in glass bowl in short bursts, 15 seconds at a time, stirring until melted.
Gently mix mascarpone, sugar, liqueur and salt in large bowl just until blended (do not stir too much or mixture will curdle). Fold in melted chocolate until no white streaks remain.
If desired, put ½ cup chocolate mixture in a small zip top freezer bag and snip off a tiny corner; reserve for garnish. Spread remaining chocolate mixture in cookie crust. Chill at least 2 hours until firm. To garnish, squeeze zip top bag (like a pastry bag) to produce small chocolate peaks around perimeter.

I am completely in flux right now. I am hoping to move to NY and pursue a career in medicine. I am a pianist and a teacher, and love to cook and experiment with different things. My boyfriend is an opera singer in Brooklyn, and I hope to join him up there, and learn a lot more about international cuisine than I do in Texas! I haven't used too many cookbooks since I became addicted to 'Zaar. I find way too many interesting things on here to try, and it's great to have the reviews already there, too, to give some other ideas of additions or changes. I have also become a big fan of making my own spice rubs and sauces. I generally pull out 10 or 12 things from my cabinet, start smelling them, and then dumping them in as I feel the urge. I don't really have a favorite dish to cook, though one of my new personal favorites is my Strawberry Pork Tenderloin. I just love when I get to be in the kitchen all day. I have an iPod shuffle that I clip to my apron, and I frequently sing and dance in the kitchen while I cook! There is a restaurant in Houston called Raffa's, and they are absolutely fab. They make a pork dish with fresh rosemary and a raspberry sauce that was largely inspiration for the Strawberry Pork Tenderloin I love to make. Other than that, I love Chinese take-out in any form, and just found tons of new restaurants in New York that I totally love. The more I read of people on this site, the bolder I get at trying my own things in the kitchen. I used to be a "recipe only" gal, and followed them to the letter, but am finding it can be much more fun to create your own. The worst that can happen is you make the occasional flop, right? <a href='http://www.niftymaps.com/visitor-map.php?id=108814'><img src='http://i.niftymaps.com/108814.png' alt='Click to zoom in on my visitor map!' border='0'></a>Create your free world <a href='http://www.niftymaps.com/' target='_blank'>visitor maps</a> <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/Copyoftag300-banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Susie's Banner for Newest Zaar Tag"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp340/northwestgal/redbannercopy.jpg" border="0" alt="New Kids Participation Banner"> <IMG src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/zaarironchef-participantbanner-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src ="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u208/diner_photos/lazymecookathon.jpg">
