Jennifer's Signature Chocolate Cream Pie

1:11 PM

Chocolate Cream Pie is a family favorite, creamy, dreamy delicious.  Pies can be fun to make and such an accomplishment when finished.  


CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE


This pie is simple to make with little fuss, yet has a rich and intense chocolate taste and is topped with sweetened whipped cream.


When I was growing up, Chocolate Cream Pies were made for nearly every get-together.

When it comes to making a delicious chocolate cream pie today, my daughter, Jennifer, is the one everyone asks to make it.

My daughter always chooses chocolate cream pie as the first dessert when we go to Luby’s. This pie is a copycat of the Luby’s Cafeteria. 

Chocolate cream pie has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember.   Pies can be fun to make such an accomplishment when finished.  This pie is simple to make with little fuss.

First, start off with the crust.  We use a homemade pie crust, but a shortbread cookie crust is equally as easy.

And store bought will do just fine too.  Second, for the filling, I add all the ingredients in a microwaveable safe bowl except the butter and vanilla and microwave for 6-8 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.

Did I say this pie is quick and easy to make?

I love that this pie has a rich and intense chocolate taste and to balance out that, it is topped with sweetened whipped cream.
