What's for dinner tonight?

Pie crust:

• Crush 5 oz of chocolate wafers in processor – Blend in food processor until finely crumbled
• Add 1 stick of melted butter
• Add 1/4 cup sugar and stir
• Place mixture into pie plate and press to the edges

Bake at 350 for 8 minutes and then let cool

Filling:

• Add 2 eggs to medium to large saucepan
• Add 2/3 but white sugar
• Stir with whisk – stirring mixture constantly over low heat until it hits 160 degrees
• Remove from heat
• Melt into it 2oz of unsweetened chocolate
• Add 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Stir it up
• Set aside and let cool

Break out the electric mixer

• Add 1/3 cup softened butter
• Whip it up until light and fluffy
• Add 2/3 cup heavy cream

• Blend on high speed for 5 minutes until light and fluffy

Pour mixture into pie crust and spread evenly

Let it set in the refrigerator for 4 hours

Reminder:  make sure your crust is completely cooled so that the pie filling doesn’t melt once you pour it in

• Add 1 pint heavy whipping cream to mixer and whip it up
• Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add chocolate shavings over the top for the finished pie!
