Chocolate Satin Pie

Good morning my dears! I hope you all are fine and dandy on this beautiful day! (It's raining terribly in my area!) Anyway! Today's recipe is: Pie! Yay for pie!

Cooking Utensils Needed:

• Whisk
• 1 Medium Saucepan

Ingredients:

• 1 prepared 9-inch (6 oz.) graham cracker crust
• 1 can (12 fl. oz.) Nestle Carnation Evaporated Milk
• 2 large egg yolks**
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
• Whipped cream (optional)*
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)*

* I post these as optional due to the fact that not everybody likes whipped cream and nuts!

**Notice that the recipe calls for egg YOLKS, not an entire egg! The best way (that I've found) to yolk an egg is this: When you crack the egg, pour it into your hands and CAREFULLY pass it back and forth between your hands so that all the excess liquid sloughs off and all that remains is the big yellow yolk with little to no excess liquid left.

Time To Start:


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. (Optional) Top with whipped cream before serving; sprinkle with nuts.

***I had to do this recipe three times before I got it right! You're standing there stirring this mixture for a good 20 minutes. You practically bring it to a boil (even though it says not to), though it's not a full roiling boil. I will update when I make it again with a more approximate time. But I will say that you can definitely tell when the mixture thickens!

Here it is! Another recipe for your family and friends to enjoy! Have fun guys!
