ROMANY CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Combine marshmallows and milk in a saucepan, over medium heat.
• Stir until marshmallows have melted.
• Add chocolate bar and stir until melted, and mixture is smooth.
• Take off heat, and allow to cool.
• Crush the biscuits finely.
• Melt the butter.(I use the microwave).
• Stir the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs.
• Press into a greased 9 inch pie-dish, or (I prefer) into a springform pan (with a loose bottom.).
• (This makes for a better presentation when you serve it).
• Chill the crust for 20 minutes in the fridge.
• Whip the cream until peaks form, and fold into cooled chocolate mixture.
• Pour into the prepared crust.
• Chill overnight in fridge.
• Next day, crumble/grate chocolate on top, loosen the pie from the springform pan (if using), and chill again, until ready to serve.

OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Whisk dry ingredients with milk in a large glass heat-proof bowl and cook on high in the microwave.
• Whisk every 3 or 4 minutes.
• Separate eggs and beat egg yolks in a medium bowl while the liquid cooks.
• When the liquid begins to thicken, wisk ladle-fulls of the hot liquid into the beaten egg yolks.
• Strain the egg mixture back into the microwave bowl, whisking again to keep it smooth.
• Continue to microwave until the filling begins to look sort of "cakey" around the edges.
• Whisk to return it to the creamy texture.
• After cooking it this way once, you will become accustomed to consistency and appearance at certain stages.
• When the pie filling is quite thick, remove it from the microwave and add butter and vanilla.
• Pour into the baked pie crust and cover with meringue.
• Prepare meringue while the filling cools: Beat egg whites until "peak" stage.
• Add sugar gradually, beating constantly.
• Add vanilla.
• Spread meringue on pie and bake in a 400° oven 8 to 10 minutes until the meringue has toasty peaks.
