What could be better than a cool and creamy slice of chocolate cream pie?
Well, certainly winning a $1,000,000 or coming home to find this gas range in your kitchen would be better, but the other night there was nothing close to that on the horizon, so this was pretty good.
The recipe I used for this chocolate cream pie came out of Diner Desserts by Tish Boyle. It's a fantastic little book hosting a wide range of diner faves like coconut cream pie and classic cheesecake all the way to root beer floats.
After I first read the book everything sounded so good I couldn't help wanting to try it all, but time, space and groceries not permitting, I chose the German Chocolate Cake. The batter is made using both butter and coconut milks, so I thought it would be something a bit different. What it turned out to be though was rather boring. The cake, although very light and moist, was unexpectedly slim on taste. At least the icing came through with a perfect score, it was brilliant.
After that my excitement for the book faded. It was shelved and has been doing a fine job of collecting dust ever since, but the story doesn't end there. This one has a happier ending.
The other day I was bumming around the kitchen thinking I needed to make something - mostly out of boredom - and I took the book out of hiding. I didn't have a lot of ingredients in the house so I had to stick to the real basics.
Chocolate - check
Cream - check
Chocolate wafers - no check (frig!) oh no wait I have graham crumbs - check (woohoo!)
I can make chocolate cream pie!
The recipe was easy to follow and it took no time to put together. Once the pudding was done and in the shell I put it outside in the BBQ to chill overnight, because it was -5 or so outside and the fridge was full. It was a great idea that went way wrong when Jason decided to use the BBQ the next morning. And since I'm not all that quick in the mornings, it was a few minutes before I clued in and ran out to make the heroic rescue. Luckily (especially for Jason), it was just a bit hot on the bottom.
I guess it was a Southern Barbecued Chocolate Cream Pie! The end result was totally yum, but unless you're a real BBQ die hard, it's probably safe to hold off on the last step. :o)
Recipe to follow
Looks delicious!!! Thanks for the post. I look forward to your future work.

Thanks Chocoholic. Any time! Thanks for the note and I hope you stop here again.
Hey shaz! Yes it's sad but true. If I craved spinach and carrots as much as whipped cream and butter, I'm sure I'd live much longer. But then what fun would that be? I've never seen a spinach and carrot cream puff have you?
