Oops, sorry! Have had a bad time lately, I should never have promised it within 24 hours lol. However, this pie recipe is not diabetic-friendly, sorry to say. I'd be interested to see if anyone could turn it into one, although that seems doubtful.
Now, down to business! Here is Grandma's Chocolate Chiffon Pie
This recipe only makes ONE pie... you can double up the ingredients, of course... but only for the pie itself. Follow the recipe for the crust and put the listed amounts into each pie pan... it's very hard to accurately halve it once you double it up.
Crust:
1 C. cornflake crumbs (sometimes it's hard to find the packaged kind, so I usually crush my own... very finely)
2 Tbsp nuts, finely chopped (I prefer pecans)
2 Tbsp sugar
1/3 C. butter (my mother used margarine, but I don't.. this pie isn't exactly diet-friendly anyway, lol)
Put butter on to melt... place all other ingredients directly into pie pan. Mix them up, add butter when melted, and then use a fork to press firmly and evenly around 9" pie pan.
Bake @250 degrees for 7 min, then set aside till time to fill.
Pie ingredients:
1 env. unflavored gelatin
1 C. whipping cream
1/2 C. sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 C milk
1 tsp vanilla
6 oz pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips
MIX gelatine, sugar and salt in pan (I double up, so I use a dutch oven)
ADD milk and chocolate
COOK over medium heat until choc. is melted and sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat, beat on low until choc. is blended.
ADD vanilla
CHILL, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds when dropped from spoon. (This takes longer than you want it too, lol... several hours)
WHIP cream with 1 tsp sugar until stiff.
FOLD into choc. mixture
SPREAD lightly into crust
CHILL until firm
GARNISH with more whipped cream and any crust crumbs left over in bottom of piepan.
STUFF yourself
UNFASTEN top button on pants
SMILE
