CHOCOLATE PIE MAKES US HAPPY!


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.




Here is what you will
 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!

  1. 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.
    Happy Snow Day to you! xoxo

  3. Bernideen, 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.
    We 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!

  4. 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.

  9. 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.
