Chocolate - Banana... Supreme!

So, here's the story.  We had family come up for a big barbecue, and I was in charge of dessert.  So, I decided to make pie!  One Banana Cream Pie, which I already provided the recipe for, and then I thought I'd try a Chocolate Silk Pie!  The Banana Cream turned out great, as always.  Perfectly delicious.  And, well, let me give you the recipe I used for the Chocolate Silk...  Use with caution!

 Chocolate Silk Pie


Chocolate Cookie Crust
12 oz can Evaporated Milk
2 egg yolks
12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips
Whipped Cream

Whisk together evaporated milk and egg yolks in medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very hot and thickens slightly; do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in morsels until completely melted and mixture is smooth.

Pour into crust; refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Top with whipped cream before serving.



So, anyway, it didn't ever thicken as I was stirring it.  But I melted the chocolate chips in it, poured it in the crust, and refrigerated it.  About 2 1/2 hours later I took it out.  To me, it looked like the edges were starting to firm up a bit, but the rest was totally liquid!  But it was time to eat pie.  So I tried just mixing a bunch of whipped cream in it to try and firm it up a bit...  But it was still totally runny.  So, we turned it into chocolate soup!

That white stuff in the bowl is additional whipped cream ;-)  Haha.  I honestly think that if we had just let it sit in the fridge a few hours longer it would have been great.  So, if you wanna try it please do!  And leave comments letting me know how it turned out!  But let me tell you something.  If ever there was a delicious chocolate soup, it was that one!  And then we had the brilliant idea of just using it as a topping for the banana cream pie!

I didn't get the picture til it was already partially eaten.  But, you could totally make it look all elegant and fancy.  And it was SO delicious!  So we all decided that we just created a new recipe!  Chocolate Banana Supreme!  (Instead of cream...  get it?  Sorta?).  Many great things are invented by accident, right?  Anyway, so try to make the chocolate pie, if you dare.  Or, you now have a great recipe for Chocolate Pie Topping!  Enjoy!!! :-)
