This was the result of being undecided upon which to make, a vanilla cream pie or a chocolate cream pie, so I layered them. I often line my pie crusts with chocolate if its a cold pie. It keeps it fresh and not soggy. This pie turned out to be a cream pie lovers perfect blend!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.

Made this last night, might make tartlets with it. Whole wheat crust is harder to work with on a larger scale. (for 2 9-inch crusts)

Chocolate Mousse Pie with Homemade Pie Crust Chocolate Mousse Pie with Homemade Pie Crust

I was making a lemon pie, and I'm the type that craves a sweet thing with a sour thing together, so I made this pie as well.When you make a chilled pie, I recommend to use homemade pie crust. Because it will stay flaky even when cold.When you make the chocolate mousse, double the amount of gelatin if you like it to be firm. It's a fluffy mousse with this recipe. Please adjust to your liking. Recipe by Shioaji

This is the Indiana state pie, if there is such a thing LOL! It's popular where I'm from and insanely easy to make. Total time includes baking two pie shells first, preping while baking pie shells, and then basically cooking ingedients and pouring into pie shells.The picture shows 4 pies. I just doubled the recipe.Also, I typically use around 1/2 the sugar the recipe calls for.Enjoy!
