    Amish Chocolate Dream Pie

    By Kevin Williams

    This is a really good pie. Aster and I whipped it up the other day and she gave it rave reviews and so did I.  It's a light pie. It almost remembers me of a chocolate sugar cream pie.  It has a light, fluffy flavor and texture.  You probably could get away with adding more chocolate to it than we did.   The recipe calls for a 1 /2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, but I think you could do 3 /4 and the pie would probably be perfect.  I also just threw in a few white chocolate chips and that added a nice touch.

    This is a classic Amish pie: light, creamy, and easy to make from ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. So if you are looking for a quick dessert, this is a good one.  Be sure to top your pie with either homemade whipping cream or just the stuff from a can (that is what we did).    You can "cheat" and use a pre-made pie shell, but Aster and I did the easy pat-a-pan crust which, really, takes about 5 minutes to make, not kidding, easy, easy homemade crust. Here are some of our photos:

    Makes a dark pie, creamy, slices well...

    Top with whipped cream and enjoy the chocolate dream!
