Today I went to an English department picnic and I brought along my friend Hugo, who is visiting for the weekend. My contribution to the day's festivities was a chocolate cream pie, which Hugo really liked--he said it was "orgasmic"--and I promised him the recipe. Then I thought I might as well make the recipe available to anyone who wants it, so here it is:
Easy Chocolate Cream Pie
In blender, place
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
Heat 1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream over medium heat just until boiling; pour over stuff in blender. Blend on high for one minute. (Note: the cream is hot enough to cook the eggs so you don't have to worry about giving people salmonella.) Pour into one large or two small pie shells and chill over night.
Before serving, whip
1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
and spread over chocolate. Serve small slices because it's very, very rich.
