chocolate cream pie, which is in the hometown cookbook. AFTER ALL THE
HOLIDAYS, WHY WOULD YOU WANT A CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE...We can add a few extra
pounds on there. Where did the recipe come from? IT COMES FROM MY WIFE'S SIDE
OF THE FAMILY, IT'S A KILLER RECIPE, IT'S VERY RICH, BUT IF YOU HAVE AN
ANNIVERSARY OR BIRTHDAY COMING UP, IT'S JUST THE TICKET. We start out with the
most important ingredient I guess, CHOCOLATE. ABOUT 3 OUNCES OF IT. AND YOU
WANT TO BREAK IT UP INTO LITTLE PIECES, DOESN'T MATTER HOW SMALL THEY ARE,
BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO MELT THEM INTO SOME HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM. A bunch of
chocolate in a bowl, and we are going to melt it up in a saucepan, which I
guess is our next step. YOU BET. THE NEXT BET IS TO GET THAT CHOCOLATE MELTED
INTO THE CREAM, AND THE ONE THING YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IS TO GET THE PAN TOO
HOT, YOU DON'T WANT TO BOIL THE CREAM, YOU JUST WANT TO GIVE IT A BASIS TO MELT
THE CHOCOLATE, SO WE ARE GOING TO PUT 1 1/2 CUPS OF HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM, YEAH,
I KNOW, YOU CAN COUNT THE CALORIES, BUT IT'S REAL NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS PIE
RICH. SO WHIPPING CREAM GOES IN THE POT, THIS PART TAKES ABOUT 15 OR 20
MINUTES. SO AS YOU ADD THE CHOCOLATE, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO STIR IT ALMOST
CONSTANTLY TO KEEP IT FROM.... Is this going to be worth all the work? OF
COURSE, 15 MINUTES WILL GIVE YOU A PIE THAT WILL LAST FOREVER. YOU JUST STIR
IT AROUND, AND GET IT ALL MELTED INTO THE CREAM. While you are working on the
dry ingredients really quickly, we have to combine sugar with corn syrup and
salt. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE MIXING THE
DRY INGREDIENTS IS YOU WANT TO LET THE SAUCE COOL OFF A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE YOU
ARE GOING TO GET SCRAMBLED EGGS...SO YOU GET THE DRY INGREDIENTS MIXED UP...A
little Vanilla in those eggs-- we've already done that. RIGHT, TWO EGGS BEATEN
UP WITH A TEASPOON AND A HALF OF VANILLA. The sauce took us 15 minutes, a slow
process, but it looks like a nice result. IF YOU DON'T GO TOO FAST, YOU'LL GET
A NICE BLEND, AND IF YOU DON'T STIR IT TOO CONSTANTLY, YOU'LL END UP WITH A
LUMPY MESS. SO YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE THAT. ONCE YOU GET ALL THE INGREDIENTS
COMBINED, YOU POUR IT INTO A NINE INCH, UNBAKED PIE SHELL, AND IT'S TIME TO
GO. Now we go to the oven-- 400 hundred degrees, for 35 minutes. IT'S ALL
FINISHED UP, LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. BUT IT NEEDS SOMETHING ON TOP. YOU CAN PUT A
LITTLE SUGAR ON THERE FOR ME, AND YOU CAN ALSO USE A LITTLE WHIPPED CREAM. BUT
EITHER WAY JUST KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF CALORIES IN THIS PIE.))
