Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Enjoy this pie on a special occasion but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Special Extra

Garnish each slice with a NILLA Wafer just before serving.

How to Make Chocolate Curls

Warm BAKER'S Chocolate slightly by heating it, unwrapped, in the microwave for a few seconds until you can just smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate steadily between thumb and fingers of one hand and draw a peeler slowly over flat bottom of chocolate. Allow a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom. This will make long, delicate curls. Make short curls using the same technique on the narrow sides of the square. To arrange curls on a dessert, use a toothpick to lift them into place.

This has all of my husband's favorite things. To make it more chocolate-y, I used a chocolate crust and chocolate pudding. We both thought it was good, but it definitely wasn't the hit I thought it would be.

I wish I could give this recipe more stars. In the 2 years since I have found it, it has been requested for at least 10 birthdays, 2 graduations and 3 showers. Everyone adores this pie, and it is sooo easy to make.

I made this for my mother-in-laws birthday dinner. Everyone enjoyed it so much they had another piece. It was very easy to make and so good to eat. It won my husband and my mother-in-law over.

I have not tried this pie yet. However, my husband took it to a bake sale his work held and not only did people ask him for the recipe but they told him I was an amazing baker. And commented on how professional the chocolate curls looked. This pie requires no work. Everything is so easy.
