My love for cooking is well known at my place of work, so one of my co-workers asked if I would make a chocolate cream pie. I didn't have a recipe for this particular kind of pie, so my first place to go is All Recipes and I picked this one. I took the advice of previous reviews and added an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. I also added some instant coffee to the mixture to enhance the chocolate flavor and made a graham cracker crust. The constant stirring and waiting to boil is part of the making of this pie, but with any cream pie, it goes with the territory if you want a truly delicious result. I too started with a heat-proof rubber spatula and as the mixture thickened, went to a wire whip, which kept the lumps at bay. I smothered my cooled pie in whipped cream and chocolate shavings and brought it into work. Well, the staff didn't wait until lunchtime to try this pie out - they were eating it at 8:00 AM and by 9:00 AM it was gone! All of my co-workers said it was the best chocolate cream pie they had ever tasted in their lives! Now that's a compliment! This recipe will become one of my favorites too. Thank-you for such a great recipe!
