Man Cannot Live On Chocolate Alone; But Woman Sure Can

I’ve been experimenting on chocolate pies. “Yumm-O.”

I donated one pie to last week’s youth pie sale. And I took two pies to our Thanksgiving feast today.

Here’s my current recipe. It’s a combination of several recipes.

It takes about 5 minutes to put together.

Ingredients:

• 1- 8 oz bar of Hershey’s dark chocolate – broken into small pieces
• 16 large marshmallows
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 graham cracker crust

Directions:

1. Put the following ingredients into a microwave safe bowl: broken chocolate, marshmallows, and 1/3 cup cream.
2. Microwave until melted. Stir every (one) minute.
3. Whip up 3/4 of the whipping cream until fluffy.
4. Fold the whipped cream into the cooked (still warm) chocolate mixture. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
5. Pour into graham cracker crust. Refrigerate. Let set for at least 30 minutes.

I’m not sure what would happen if you didn’t whip the cream before hand. One of these days I’ll make it without doing that step. I’ll let you know the results.

I do know this about dark chocolate: “In the beginning, the Lord created chocolate, and he saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the dark, and it was better.” Anonymous
