Pie Recipe


OK, after a week of debate I have decided to post my recipe! Sometimes the "raw eggs" thing freaks people out, but as long as you keep the pie cold, I don't think it's a big deal. And maybe you could use egg subsitiute instead of the real thing.... Bake away my friends!


Chocolate Truffle Pie Recipe

1 baked pie crust or graham cracker crust
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (Nestle only)
1 cup powdered sugar
½ cup butter (good quality)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 eggs

Whipping cream
Chocolate bar (for chocolate shaved chocolate pieces)

1. Melt chips and set aside to cool.
2. Cream butter and sugar until very fluffy (about 3 minutes).
3. Add vanilla and melted chips.
4. Add eggs (cold from the fridge), one at a time, beating vigorously after each egg.
5. Pour into pie shell and smooth on top.

6. Put in fridge at least 4-5 hours before serving. (Can be covered and frozen for a few days)
7. Just before serving, top with fresh sweetened whipped cream and shaved chocolate pieces.

This pie is amazingly chocolaty and delicious! It must be served chilled for best texture and taste. I also think that a homemade graham cracker crust is a nicer compliment to the chocolate than a traditional pastry crust.
