Sometimes chocolate is
what makes
us happy!
I have shared this pie before here
because I make it every once
and a while. It is a bit of a
knock off to the old Bishops
Cafeteria Chocolate Pie.
We are suddenly getting
some snow today so it is a nice
day for life in the kitchen.
need to make this pie.
A store bought or easily made
graham cracker crust.
To make your own I take 9 rectangle
pieces - which is one pkg of
cinnamon graham crackers and
smash them into crumbs. I heat
1/2 stick of butter and mix all
together and mash into the
bottom of a buttered large pie plate.
Bake at 375 degrees for 5-8 minutes
till it starts to turn brown! Cool
I put the rush on cooling mine today by
putting it out in the cold garage while
I prepared the filling!
For the pie filling: You will need
1 quart good quality vanilla
ice cream, 2 small pkg of jello
instant pudding, 2 square of
unsweetened chocolate and
1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping
cream. I put the ice cream in
my mixing bowl and let it melt.
Then beat the ice cream and heavy
whipping cream and add the pudding
mixes. Then I melt the chocolate and
add it mixing well. Pour into the
cooled pie shell and refrigerate.
For a nice decorated edging around
the pie I beat together 1 cup of heavy
whipping cream and 1/4 cup of
confectioners sugar. You can spoon
this into a pastry bag and decorate
with the tube of your choice on the tip!
Enjoy and stay warm!
Looks wonderful! I made it from your recipe once and must have done something wrong because it sure didn't taste like yours does!! Yummy! I think it was the icecream I used, it was a cheapo brand.
ReplyDeleteHappy Snow Day to you! xoxo
Your pie looks delicious!Gorgeous red transferware and pretty teapot.I love the sweet lady figurine too.Beautiful snow pictures.Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBernideen, I have always admired your lady with the muff figurine, and those three red transferware plates are gorgeous! Chocolate pie is always a treat but I can't make it any more because Hubby has health issues if he eats too much chocolate. He's not a very good boy if there is a lot of chocolate around, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteWe have some snow now but the rain we're getting tomorrow will rid us of some of it. Then it's going to freeze; not good! It's been a long winter this year. I hope you had a splendid Valentine's Day!
Oh, this does look delicious. I've not made a chocolate pie in ages. I think I just might need to follow your lead this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've ever made a chocolate pie. I would be happy if you sent that right over. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was DELICIOUS yum yum !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for my special surprise
Now you've got me craving chocolate pie!
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving your pretty teapot with the cute little feet.
I love chocolate pie!
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks absolutely delicious, Bernideen! It sounds so easy with the ice cream as one of the ingredients. Thank you for sharing this recipe and the pretty setting with us.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I forgot to mention in your NEW LOOK post how young you look with your new hairstyle!!
My husband would love this pie. I don't usually make cream pie (mostly fruit pies) and he does get hungry for a chocolate pie. It sounds good.
ReplyDeleteOMG....chocolate pie and your beautiful dishes! NUM on both! Smiles, Sandi
