Easy-Peasy Pie

i am about to reveal to you my secret weapon. my go to. chocolate cream pie. yuh-me! and the kicker? it's insanely easy.

Photobucket

you must only use this brand of pie crust. cook one and set it aside.

you'll need to make up a batch of chocolate pudding. not the instant kind, the cook and serve stuff. it's a little bit of work, can burn on easily, but is so yummy and nutty. worth it.

when the pudding's done, pour it into your pie crust and place it into the fridge to cool.

in the meantime...whip up some real whipped cream. have you ever made real whipped cream? you'll never use a spray can again. whip a small carton of heavy whipping cream with a splash of clear vanilla (keeps it super pretty white) and a dash of sugar to taste. whip it good, but don't make butter.

once the pie's cooled, dollop ALL of the whipped cream up on top. sprinkle with cocoa powder (clearly i forgot to do this). serve it up!
