So I went and saw the movie "The Help". It was such a great movie! I love it! I was inspired by the chocolate pie that was on there. I had never seen a baked chocolate pie before. I have only seen like pudding pies. Now those of you who have seen it... no, I didn't put the "special ingredient" in it.
I searched a lot for a recipe online. I also read reviews of others and even posted it on my bread forum called The Fresh Loaf that I am a part of. I chose two recipes. They were similar. One with 2 eggs and one with 3 eggs. I chose the 3 egg one and didn't like its texture... too eggy. So I created my own sort of combining the two recipes. I wanted a with to feel like it was inbetween a pudding and a brownie. I got it! Two eggs was the trick! (and I got it on my second attempt!) It was delicious!
The picture I have has it topped with a meringue just because eggs were cheaper than cream. But it is better with whipped cream! Any ways... I broke it down (hopefully I did the math right) but it only cost me $2.50 to make this pie (minus the cream). Cheap and delicious, my two favorite words together!
