1 Pie shell, 9″ or 10″ 1 ts Vanilla extract
2 Chocolate Pudding (double 3 tb Confectioner’s Sugar
-recipe) Chocolate shavings (semi-sw
1 pt Whipping Cream
Make a double batch of Gary’s Chocolate Pudding increasing the cornstarch
to about 4 1/2 tb per batch (8-10 total). Chill thoroughly. This pudding
will be extremely thick.
Make or purchase your favorite pie shell. I personally like the good old
fashioned, plain pie shell. My family seems to prefer a cookie type of
shell. If you make your own, you must pre-bake it as this pie requires NO
BAKING.
Whip cream with confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract until thick and
fluffy. Take 1/2 of the whipped cream and add to the chocolate pudding.
Because the pudding is so thick, you will probably want to use an electric
mixer for this task. Mix until all of the whipped cream is thoroughly
incorporated.
Fill pie shell with the pudding-whipped cream mixture. Place remaining
whipped cream into a piping bag and pipe onto top of pie. Shave
bittersweet chocolate on top as garnish.
Cover pie and place into refrigerator for 2-3 hours to allow the cornstarch
that is in the confectioner’s sugar to set.
