Simple Chocolate Pie

simple chocolate pie

Get out the milk for this rich delight and cut yourself a small slice of chocolate pie.

My friend, Anne, came over and we made this pie 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 ready to eat.

I’m serious about the glass of milk and cutting a small slice. This recipe is rich, but definitely worth making. I will make this again the next time I have guests coming over. That way, I can eat it and not have any leftovers.
