Today I made my first love's
favourite pie!
He was kind and gentle
had a warm and welcoming smile
Dark brown kind eyes
Loved his family with all his heart!
That was my dad.
His very favourite pie was Chocolate Pie
and just about any other pie
that my mom made.

I used my mom's recipe
and this is how she wrote it in her
recipe book:
Makes 2 pies
4 Cups milk (she always used whole milk) – heated to
boiling point
Mix together:
1 Cup “good full” of Brown Sugar
4 Tbsp. Flour – heaping
2 Tbsp. Cocoa
Mix with 1 Cup of Milk – add into remaining hot milk and
cook till thickened. Add vanilla, salt
and some butter.
Pour into baked pie crust, cool and top with whipped
cream.
Foot note - My sweetheart likes this pie too!
Till next time ...... this is my February edition pie

ReplyDeleteLooks great!
Looks so wonderful! Thank you for the recipe. I don't know why I go to the chocolate pudding mix when I could do this instead.
ReplyDeleteDoes the Farmer need a hired man around the place? I'd work just for the meals! Honest!
