Yesterday, I decided to find out why Earl thought the pie was so great Because it’s the type of recipe it is, it’s very short and intended for people who already have an idea of how to make a chocolate pie. I’ve added a few extra details to help you along so that even if you’ve never made one, you’ll be able to.
And it’s worth making. It’s lighter than the other chocolate pies I’ve posted (not counting the crust, of course) and has an interesting, smooth, slick texture which may be from the evaporated milk and water combo, which is one I’d never seen before in a chocolate cream pie.

Lady Bird Johnson’s Mexican Chocolate Cake, which some claim to be the original Texas Sheet Cake, is made with cinnamon.

This one is a cocoa based frosting, but the addition of heavy cream and a little sour cream makes it better. Here it is on a special chocolate cake. [...]

Yesterday I wrote about chocolate chip cookies with pudding and said they were a little cakey for my tastes and not quite chewy enough. They were good –definitely better after they’d sat around for a few hours, but just anot my favorite texture and type of cookie. Since I’m being finicky, I figured I’d post [...]

One of Todd’s co-workers has a peanut allergy and can’t eat a lot of the goodies I send to work. Over the weekend, I started feeling bad about the situation and planned on making a special peanut butter free treat just for her. Then wouldn’t you know it? I find out today’s National Peanut Butter [...]
