Dads Chocolate Pie Recipes

DAD'S FAVORITE COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and set it aside.
• In a food processor, combine the chocolate cookies with the coconut oil and salt and pulse until the mixture is sandy and starts to clump together. Add the coconut and pulse just a couple more times to get it evenly distributed.
• Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing it up against the sides to give it a 1- to 1 1/2-inch-tall crust. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Let it cool.
• For the filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt and egg yolks. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded coconut and pour into the cooled crust. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. (This can be done up to 2 days in advance; keep covered in the refrigerator.)
• For the topping: Toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let it cool.
• With an electric mixer or in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Spread it on the pie, then sprinkle with the toasted coconut flakes. Top with shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• When you're ready to take it out of the pan, run a small offset spatula around the edge and carefully remove the sides. Enjoy!

LADD'S CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pour in the milk, then the beaten eggs. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, butter and vanilla. Stir until the chocolate is all melted. Pour into the baked pie shell and chill in the fridge for several hours until set.
• Serve plain to Ladd, serve topped with everything for Ree!

KAM'S CHOCOLATE PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a double boiler over medium heat, whisk together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and egg yolks until blended and crumbly. Slowly whisk in the can of evaporated milk and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Finally put in butter and continue to whisk frequently until filling is thick like pudding.
• Once thick, pour into your already baked pie crust and let sit for several hours or for best results the next day.
• Enjoy!

DAD'S CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine cocoa powder and ice cream.
• Add some of the milk, mashing with a potato masher or a hand held electric beater (not turned on) as you go.
• You can choose to leave it thicker and more lumpy by adding less milk or mashing less (my favorite), or have a thinner shake by adding more milk and mashing more thoroughly.
• Add more cocoa powder if needed.
• SERVE!
• I also like topping with mini chocolate chips.
