First of all.... The Queen is Dead....
Long Live the King!!!
Not kidding...I warn you and warn you again. And its the BEST!!
There is a reason its called "Gone to Heaven Chocolate Pie" adapted from the Hersheys site. Its to die for. But making it even better - I added a thick layer of peanut butter. Use smooth or chunky, whichever works fine.
I made it for my grandmothers 95th birthday party - but since almost everyone is down with the flu, we will celebrate at another time.
Ingredients:
- One 9-inch pie shell
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips, divided
- Peanut butter
- Sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping(optional)
Directions:
1. Bake pie shell; cool. Stir together sugar, cornstarch and salt in 2 quart saucepan. Combine egg yolks and milk in container with pouring spout. Gradually blend milk mixture into sugar mixture.2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Add 1-3/4 cups chocolate chips; stir until chips are melted and mixture is well blended. (This is where I first spread the peanut butter) Pour into prepared pie shell; press plastic wrap onto filling. Cool. Refrigerate several hours or until chilled and firm. Garnish with whipped cream and remaining chocolate chips, if desired. 6 to 8 servings.
