Pie of the Month - January
Yes, I know it's February and the title says January. Your pants don't match your shirt, but I let that go. You owe me the same courtesy.
Following the colossal failure that was my apple pie, I was understandably nervous about my next effort. So I chose something easier: chocolate cream pie.
Prep time for this pie was approximately 2 minutes, so it was a good choice. Very little manual intervention is the key, apparently.
The end result? It looks and tastes great. It makes my taste buds as happy as a teenage boy in Hefner's grotto.
With all respect due to Darryl Dawkins, I don't think it would be out of the question for me to demand that you call me "Chocolate Thunder" from now on.
(Coincidentally, this is my 200th post. To celebrate, everyone reading this post will receive a voucher for a free slice of pie, made fresh by me.)

congrats on the 299th episode.
and keep it up in the kitchen. there's nothing wrong with easy recipes - they build confidence until you are more comfortable with going "scratch". besides, even wolfgang puck was a beginner once, right?

hahaha. i mistyped.

maybe you could name it: "the one where the commenter is a retard."

mmmm... pie...
As good as it may be, I think I pretty much have to refuse to call you Chocolate Thunder. That's just not going to happen.

You know, I was just thinking about making chocolate cream pie the other day. But I'll take a slice of yours instead. :-)

2 minutes? Please tell me you didn't make the filling out of jello instant pudding! The recipe for a great cream pie in the Lion House cookbook rules!
Congratulations on having the genes to make pie crust, however.
I said:
When you say make pie crust, you mean go buy frozen crust and heat it in the oven, right?
Cate said:
That pie crust looks iffy to me. Too thick. Not flaky and fabulous like pie crust should be. But such are the perils of depending on pre-packaged foodstuffs.
Katie said:
So awesome! Chocolate Thunder, I have to demand my piece immediately. It looks very pretty, and the photo approaches on art. Nice job!
jasmine said:

uhh...I'm wearing a skirt.
that black void in the middle of the pie is the chocolate right? cause at a glance, I thought you made a bottomless pit pie crust.
