Frozen Chocolate Pie or Do I Have Your Attention Now?

By -
We all know I am not a baker.  I am however, good at desserts which do not require baking.  Is there a name for me? 

 Yesterday afternoon, on a whim, I went to the store for the ingredients for Chocolate Cream Pie.  Fireman gives it a 10. 
I haven't tried it yet.  Well, I guess I tried the Batter, if we are being completely honest about this.  The batter was decadent. 
Here's the recipe.  (oh and my second Trap is well underway)

Chocolate Cream Pie




Ingredients
  • 1 ready made graham cracker crust
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened dark chocolate, chopped (or you can use the baking chips)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (milk can be substituted)
  • 8 ounce container of Cool Whip
Instructions
  1. Melt chocolate and cream in the microwave for about 45-60 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir until chocolate is completely melted, creating a chocolate ganache, if needed heat for an additional 10 seconds.
  2. With a mixer, cream softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Add chocolate ganache, reserving out about 1/4 cup for the drizzle on top of your pie, and mix again till all combined.
  3. Still using the mixer, on low speed, add in Cool Whip. Once combined, pour filling into crust.
  4. To drizzle chocolate. If chocolate has thickened, place back in microwave for 10-15 seconds to liquify. Place melted chocolate in a plastic bag and then cut a small hole in one corner of the bag. Drizzle chocolate over pie in the pattern of your choice.
  5. Refrigerate pie for at least 4 hours before serving

Do you have a favorite frozen dessert ?

Wow! Looks very chocolately!

I used to have a favorite that was very simple --

One graham cracker crust
2 containers fruit yogurt
1 container of Cool Whip

Mix the yogurt and Cool Whip. Put in the graham crust and freeze.

It was really cool and light for the summer weather. But, I don't make it anymore. We don't eat Cool Whip or any processed foods much any more.

Wow, the pie looks fabulous!

I love ice cream sandwiches, but I rarely purchase them because I have little self-control.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
