Frozen Chocolate Cream Pie

[Ol-blue]

If you like chocolate then you will love this. Eat this pie right out of the freezer for more of an Ice Cream consistency or let it sit out longer for a creamier consistency.
Enjoy! Debbie

I'm literally drooling with this one. I'm printing this recipe and making it this weekend. It's chocolate week for me. LOL Wouldn't it be great that most of us posted pics of what we made so it would be more appetizing? Just a thought bubble I got.

I have a small piece put aside just for you Uncle Bob.

Dina, I know what you mean. My family is still talking about this pie and how good it was. I agree on the photos. I am a visual type person and I think it really helps to see what it will look like before I make something. It is a bit of a pain to have to take a picture sometimes.

What is chocolate syrup? I've never come across that over here. Is it similiar to chocolate ice cream topping?
