As promised, here's my favorite Chocolate Cream Pie recipe.

A word about Chocolate Cream Pie:
• It is the best pie. Ever.
• Some would make this with a chocolate crumb crust, but that would be a grave error. Part of what makes it fabulous is the contrast between the chocolatey, creamy filling, light fluffy whipped cream, and the flakey, delicate, butter crust.
• Make it your own! The recipes here have been adapted from the originals by my mom and I. The original sources were Real Simple magazine for the crust and Wanda's Pie in the Sky cookbook, by Wanda Beaver (highly recommended.)
