chocolate pie

 

Chocolate pie, large family style

When we make pies in our household, the small ones don’t cut it.  I have had to alter our pies to fit into a 9×13 pan to  make them “large sized” for our family.

This is a favorite of my husbands, we make it every Thanksgiving.

The crust is a basic pie crust, I have learned to use my food processor and make it much easier making homemade crusts. You will need:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 3/4 cups butter
• a few Tablespoons of cold water

Place your ingredients into your food processor. First add the flour, salt, and butter and pulsate that a few times.

  

Then let the machine do the work for you.  After your dough has been mixed add a few Tablespoons of cold water.  Add 3-5 depending upon the stickiness of your dough.  

Grease a 9×13 baking pan and pat the crust into your pan.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until slightly browned.  Let cool completely.

We make this easy, Mix 4 pkg chocolate pudding with 7 cups of milk. Pour over crust.  Refrigerate until set or overnight.  Serve with Cool Whip.
