1 pt Whipping Cream

1 ts Vanilla extract

3 tb Confectioner's Sugar

Chocolate shavings (semi-sw)

Make a double batch of Gary's Chocolate Pudding increasing the cornstarch

to about 4 1/2 tb per batch (8-10 total). Chill thoroughly. This pudding

will be extremely thick. Make or purchase your favorite pie shell. I

personally like the good old fashioned, plain pie shell. My family seems to

prefer a cookie type of shell. If you make your own, you must pre-bake it

as this pie requires NO BAKING. Whip cream with confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract until thick and fluffy. Take 1/2 of the whipped cream and add to the chocolate pudding. Because the pudding is so thick, you will

probably want to use an electric mixer for this task. Mix until all of the

whipped cream is thoroughly incorporated. Fill pie shell with the

pudding-whipped cream mixture. Place remaining whipped cream into a piping

bag and pipe onto top of pie. Shave bittersweet chocolate on top as

garnish. Cover pie and place into refrigerator for 2-3 hours to allow the

cornstarch that is in the confectioner's sugar to set. --
