Chocolate Cream Pie

During one period of my childhood I “tortured” my Mum to make this pie for me at least twice a month. Now this pie is my pride, I love making it. I tried a variety of pies, here on SugarApron, some I liked more, some less, but this one completely knocked me off my feet. Although requires extra effort to get ready, it’s worth every minute invested. Additionally chocolate pudding cream is the best thing I’ve tried as it is sticky, not to sweet, strong…. I could actually just eat that. When I make this pie I selfishly keep it as a little treasure, just for myself.

A chocolate graham crust, a decadent chocolate cream filling, a fresh whipped cream. Classic Chocolate Cream Pie.
