My friend, Anne, came over and we made this simple chocolate pie recipe together. We usually enjoy lattes together while our kids play. This time, we got together just to eat chocolate. What are friends for, right?
HERE'S ALL YOU NEED
- 2 (5 oz.) Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars
- 2 (5 oz.) Hershey's Dark Chocolate bars, you will use 1 1/4 bars
- 1 (12 oz.) Cool Whip, completely thawed
- 1 Ready made Oreo cookie pie crust
Use a medium size, glass or metal bowl that will fit snugly on top of a medium sauce pan, but will not touch the bottom of the pan. Fill the sauce pan with 1/2 inch of water and heat to a slow simmer.
While the water is heating up, measure out the chocolate and chop into small, even pieces for quick melting; transfer to bowl. Place bowl over top of pan. Do not walk away, melting the chocolate will only take about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to move chocolate around, but try not over stir the chocolate. When there's just a few chocolate lumps remaining, go ahead and remove bowl from heat and set aside.
To incorporate the chocolate and Cool Whip using a spatula, you can fold the Cool Whip into the chocolate. As the chocolate cools, it will become harder to fold, so work QUICKLY.
Another way is to put the cool whip into your Kitchen Aid stand mixer, turn it on to medium speed, then add the melted chocolate. After it's mixed well, transfer the pie filling to the pie crust. Spread evenly, decorate top with chocolate shavings, then refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
Jill, you temptress of chocoliciousness. This is going to be made this week.
ooohh it was gooood
Okay, Jill, I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but my thighs need me to ask you to please stop putting images such as these up on the internet..;) I’ve already gone up a pant size just scrolling down this page.
I want a latte and chocolate while the kids play too…..I really need to move.:)
Seriously though, this looks goooooood!
Next time there’s a “mommy” play date….call me!
Amy:)
Jil, this looks and sounds completely DECADANT! I’m gonna make it with fresh whipped cream for my sis-n-law for the 4th! I cannot wait!
I’ve made this with homemade whipped cream and it’s decadent. The Cool Whip version is handy for folks that don’t make their own whipped cream. I didn’t have trouble eating either versions of the chocolate pie.
