Something finally done right

Okay, I am so proud of myself. I finally made something that actually tastes good! Usually when I make something, it never turns out right. I can screw up the simplest thing, but not this time. I found this dessert from Southern Living and I thought I would give it a try. This wonderful, yet rich, dessert is called Chocolate Icebox Pie. Doesn't it look yummy??

Since I'm a nice person, I will give you the recipe. Give it a try...you will not be disappointed.

• 2/3 cup milk
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels object
• 1/4 cup cold water object
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk object
• 3 large eggs, beaten object
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 (6-ounce) ready-made chocolate crumb piecrust
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
• 1 (1.55-ounce) milk chocolate candy bar, chopped

Preparation
Heat milk until it just begins to bubble around the edges in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat (do not boil). Remove from heat, and whisk in chocolate morsels until melted. Cool slightly.

Stir together cold water and cornstarch until dissolved.

Whisk cornstarch mixture, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla into chocolate mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil 1 minute or until mixture thickens and is smooth. (Do not overcook.)

Remove from heat, and whisk in butter. Spoon mixture into piecrust. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.

Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream evenly over pie filling, and sprinkle with pecans and candy bar pieces.

ENJOY!!
