CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE RECIPE

This Chocolate Cream Pie is both rich and creamy. This pie recipe is quick and super easy since it just uses a store bought crust. We will be making a few pies for Easter guests now that my fear of making these quick and easy pies with a store bought crust has diminished. I shared my fear of making pies with you when I shared my yummy Coconut Cream Pie with you last week.

Each and every holiday, my grandmother would decide which pies were going to be included in the dessert line up. She would ask all of us for our input on what pies to be included. My uncle and I were the Chocolate Cream Pie fans of the family. Just the thought of a holiday without chocolate cream pie would not make for a good holiday for either of us. One year, she was running a bit behind and didn’t have the time to finish up all of the pies. It was one sad day, ha ha. I still remember chocolate pie not being included with all her other yummy desserts.


I have always been a fan of chocolate. Chocolate cakes are my favorite. Chocolate fudge is a must. Everything chocolate for this girl. I am sure many of you can relate.
