The Kind of Happiness That Comes Directly From the Oven.

Chocolate Cream Tart February 22, 2010

This is the first pie like food I’ve ever attempted. I’m not a huge pie fan, and I don’t try to do a lot with thing’s I don’t like. But when I first came upon a recipie similar to the one I’m about to share, I thought it sounded delicious, and I had to give it a try.

Do you see that? Seriously, I don’t know if it get’s much better than that. It’s a goey chocolaty button, then a homemade chocolate whipcream topped with Heshey’s chocolate shavings, then some more melted chocolate.

Delicious. amazing. perfect.

The first part of this pie is the pie crust. I’ve never made a pie before, and I’ve certaintly never made a homemade crust, so I skipped that this time and used a store bought crust, but if you have a crust you love use that instead.

1. roll out crust, and fit into pie pan. Cook in preheated oven of 425 degree’s for 10 minutes.

Now that that’s out of the way. Let’s get to the good stuff.

Filling:

1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips.

1 can sweetened condensed milk (140z)

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

2 eggs

1. Place Chocolate Chips in microwavable bowl. Cook for 15 seconds, stir, then cook for 30 more seconds or until melted. Stir the chocolate until smooth.

2. In a large bowl, beat the condensed milk, whipping cream, egss, and melted chocolate. Pour the mixture into the prebaked pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes at previous temperature of 425 degrees. Reduce temperature t0 350 and continue to bake for 40-50 minutes. Cool for one hour, then refrigerate for at least two hours.

Topping:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/3 cup cocoa powder

Dash of salt

1 1/2 cup whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

1. In a medium sized bowl, place all incredients for topping. Using a hand wisk (which will take longer) or an electronic whisk (will only take a few minutes) whisk the incredients until the mixture becomes thick.

After the tart has cooled completley spread the topping over the filling, and then shave chocolate over the pie. Put in fridge till ready to serve. If you want melted chocolate when serving, melt two tablespoons of chocolate with 2 tablespoons of butter in microwave or on stove.

Enjoy!
