1. Choco Pie Mousse Cups
A creamy, indulgent dessert in a cup
Begin by crushing 2-3 Lotte Choco Pies into small pieces and set them aside. Prepare the chocolate mousse by melting 100g of dark chocolate and folding it into 1 cup of whipped cream until smooth. In small cups, layer the crushed Choco Pies and mousse alternately, finishing with a layer of mousse on top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, then garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
2.Choco Pie Banoffee Explosion
A delightful twist on the classic Banoffee pie with a Choco Pie twist!
Slice ripe bananas and layer them on top of halved Lotte Choco Pies. Drizzle generously with rich caramel sauce, then top each with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For a finishing touch, sprinkle with dark chocolate curls or crushed nuts. Serve immediately for a gooey banana-caramel explosion that melts in your mouth with every bite!
3. Choco Pie Ice Cream Sandwich
A cool, creamy twist on the classic Choco Pie
Carefully slice a Lotte Choco Pie in half to create two discs. Take your favorite ice cream (such as vanilla, chocolate, or cookies and cream) and place a generous scoop between the two halves. Press down gently, then wrap the sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour. Enjoy your homemade ice cream sandwich as a cool treat!
4. Choco Pie Mini-Cakes
Elegant little cakes covered in chocolate ganache.
Melt 100g of chocolate and mix with 50g of butter until smooth to create a ganache. Dip each Lotte Choco Pie into the ganache, allowing the excess to drip off.

5. Choco Pie Trifle
A layered dessert with pudding, whipped cream, and Choco Pie.
In a large trifle bowl, begin by breaking 3-4 Lotte Choco Pies into bite-sized pieces and layering them at the bottom. Next, add a layer of pudding (chocolate or vanilla), followed by a layer of whipped cream. Continue to layer Choco Pie pieces, pudding, and whipped cream until the bowl is filled, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.
