Chopping Chocolate for Robert Redford Pie

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I am going to be showing you how to make "The Next Best Thing to Robert Redford Pie". While we are waiting for the pie crust, we are going to go ahead and take these chocolate chips I've got here. These are actually 'Baker's Chocolate Chips', it doesn't matter, it's all the same thing, as long as they are sweetened. These are sweetened. Just make sure that you don't use unsweetened chocolate chips because that would taste really, really awful. Alright, so what we are going to do, we are just going to take these. You can put these in the food processor if you want, I don't see the point. Make sure they are nice and cold too so they are hard, and they don't melt in your hands. You want to move kind of quickly here because if you move too slowly they will start to melt and that makes things very, very difficult. Oh, I don't want to cut my finger off there. So, with some sense of urgency while at the same time maintaining a great amount of care to not lose a finger. You want to sit here and cut these things down. You don't need that much just really just an ounce, maybe two ounces depending on how much chocolate you want to see on top of there. What I do is cut it down to the half way point here, then I flip this piece up on its end as such and work on it like that. The reason that I don't do these in a food processor is once again the heat from the rotations from the food processor can actually heat the chocolate up and it will produce some undesirable side effects. It could un-temper the chocolate; it could melt the chocolate which would be very, very bad obviously. It could also basically turn it into almost powdered chocolate practically. Now that I've gotten this to a pretty manageable size by cutting it down I am just going to go over it a couple of times here. I like to use shavings like this. Oops, I got it on my ring, I don't know what I was thinking putting my ring back on. I like to use shavings like this as opposed to using plain chocolate chips or chocolate syrup. I think the shaving, its a better look and it gives you that different than the normal stuff you bought at the grocery store or the normal everyday kind of look. I am going to store these back in the fridge. You don't want to keep your chocolate in the fridge too long, because it will turn white on the outside because of the oils on the outside will start to kind of come out. So you want to store it somewhere cool. I am just going to keep it in the fridge for a few minutes, but somewhere cool if you have a cabinet or something you can keep it in there, that is fine too. Off we go.
