Chocolate Silk Pie

For this weeks pie I have made a Chocolate Silk Pie from my Taste of Home Best Loved Pies book, page 47. 

I remember when I was little and my mom and dad took us to my Grandpa Dixon's house he would always have a chocolate pie waiting for me.  This was always my favorite.  I am pretty sure he just filled a pie crust with chocolate pudding but it tasted wonderful to me. 

This pie was a little more work than the pie my grandpa made but I believe it is well worth it.

I think the worse part of making this pie was whipping the cream.  I used store bought for the Almond Cream pie but it went flat before we had the chance to eat it.  This time I used heavy whipping cream and whipped it myself. 

Jason does not care for chocolate pie so I am not sure if he will try it or not.  I might be able to convice him to at least taste it.  I will post results tomorrow after my friends from work try it. 

As usual if you would like the full recipe please email me.

With Christmas being next week I will be making a Pumpkin pie.  I am also going to be making my Grandma's banana pudding so I will be putting up an extra post on the blog.
