A few days before Mother’s Day, it was discussed that I was going to make a dessert for my family for that day. No one ever talked about it ever again, until the night before when I asked my mom if I was still making something. I really wanted to try out this new pie recipe that was uploaded on YouTube. My mom brushed it off until the next morning; she woke me up super early telling me to make the pies. I honestly panicked because I knew that the pies were going to take a long time because my mom wanted a regular pie crust and not a cookie pie crust.

I pulled myself out of bed, and I started to make the pie crust. I honestly hate making pie crust, so this was a challenge. I added all of the ingredients and used a fork to knead it all together. I had to let this refrigerate for an hour, so while this was happening, I started on my chocolate filling.

This was a rough process because I had to heat a chocolate bar on my stove, but I had to be sure I did not burn it. I also did not have a food thermometer, so I had to use an actual thermometer which did not go higher than 105 degrees. I had to guess the temperature of my chocolate, then let it cool. I add this melted chocolate to a mixture of powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream.

I got my pie crust out of the fridge, rolled it flat, put it in a pie pan, and then put it in the oven. Once it was cooked, I let it cool, then added the chocolate mixture, then put it in the fridge to harden for 4 hours.

I then started making the homemade whip cream. This is a super easy process. You put heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract in a bowl, and you mix until it has taken whip cream form. Once my pies chilled long enough, I topped them with this whip cream. Finally, I shaved chocolate on top of it.

My family enjoyed the pies. They were a perfect Mother’s Day treat. Down below I attached the links to the YouTube videos for the pie and crust recipes. I also attached a picture of the pies I made!
