Ingredients

  • 1 9-10-inch pie shell, baked
  • 1 pint whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp. Confectioner's sugar
  • Semi-sweet chocolate shavings
  • 1 pint whipping cream
  • Double batch Gary's Chocolate Pudding

Method

  • Make a double batch of Gary's Chocolate Pudding increasing the cornstarch to about 4-1/2 tbsp.
  • per batch (8-10 total).
  • Chill thoroughly.
  • This pudding will be extremely thick.
  • Make or purchase your favorite pie shell.
  • I personally like the good old fashioned, plain pie shell.
  • My family seems to prefer a cookie type of shell.
  • If you make your own, you must pre-bake it as this pie requires NO BAKING.
  • Whip cream with confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract until thick and fluffy.
  • Take 1/2 of the whipped cream and add to the chocolate pudding.
  • Because the pudding is so thick, you will probably want to use an electric mixer for this task.
  • Mix until all of the whipped cream is thoroughly incorporated.
  • Fill pie shell with the pudding-whipped cream mixture.
  • Place remaining whipped cream into a piping bag and pipe onto top of pie.
  • Shave bittersweet chocolate on top as garnish.
  • Cover pie and place into refrigerator for 2-3 hours to allow the cornstarch that is in the confectioner's sugar to set.
