It is my hubby’s birthday today. Happy Birthday!
I asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday this year. Instead of cake, he wanted a pie. His favorite is cherry pie, but we could not find any fresh cherries. So chocolate pie was second on the list.
I decided to use a recipe from The Pioneer Woman.
I love my mom’s homemade crust, but after working 9 hours…Pillsbury’s Pie Crust was the obvious choice!
I did cook my pie crust a little longer than I needed, but it still was delicious!
I had all my ingredients ready to go and found this recipe was really quite easy.
It calls for bittersweet chocolate. I used Ghirardelli and chopped fine and added after the pie filling was beginning to thicken. I think this tasted better than using cocoa powder.
The pie was a huge success, mainly because my hubby loved it!
Click here Chocolate Pie for her recipe. The full link to her recipe can be found there. If you make this, let me know what you think! I have listed some of her cookbooks here for you if you don’t have one already.
happy birthday to your hubby! 😊

Chocolate pie and I will take a dollop of whipping cream on top! The Pioneer Woman always has great recipes and most of them are not low-fat 🙂

🙂 I do not go to Pioneer Woman for low cal anything!! But I do like all the things I have made of hers. I think that means I will make this only on special occasions!! And the whip cream will just make it a little more special!
