Chocolate Cream Pie

Chocolate cream pie.

Just those three little words get my mouth watering.  This chocolate cream pie is so delicious and so easy to make.  I can assure you this chocolate cream pie will not disappoint.  It is so easy to make my 13 year old Son actually made it.  Last week The Boy Teen had a ‘make what you like’ cooking class.  Being a typical teen boy, he told me this at 8pm on Sunday night.  The cooking class was Monday.  He was unsure what he wanted to make but knew it had to be something with chocolate.

Everybody likes chocolate don’t they?  With this recipe it can be tailored to your guests.  Do you like a rich high cocoa chocolate?  Do you like milk chocolate?  Perhaps you are a fan of white chocolate or a more usual flavoured chocolate.  This chocolate cream pie recipe does not disappoint one little bit.

Ingredients

• 150g melted butter
• 2 packets of oreos
• 2 large blocks of chocolate
• 300ml of double cream
• strawberries to decorate

Method

• Crush the oreos with either a food processor or in a bag with a rolling pin.
• Mix in the melted butter and stir well
• Press down in to an 8″ tin with removable base
• Place in a freezer to cool.
• Gently warm the double cream but do not allow to boil.
• Whilst the cream in warming break the chocolate up and place in a bowl.
• Pour over the warmed cream and wait for 1 minute
• Mix well

The brilliant thing about this recipe is that it requires no cooking at all.  The recipe really is simple and a child will be able to make this on their own.  As to whether a child will clean up after they have made this is an entirely different matter.
