Chocolate Cream Pie

Half way through making this cake, I realized I made almost the exact same thing for my sister's boyfriend just a year ago.  This time around, I didn't include the flourless chocolate cake layer and I made an oreo whip cream layer.  This was a lot less labor intensive to make yet just as delicious and rich.

Recipes: Chocolate cookies crust was from Martha's Stewart Pie and Tarts, chocolate pudding was from Baked Explorations, and whipped cream frosting was adapted from Junior's Cheesecake cookbook.

Mississippi Mud Pie

For my sister's boyfriend's birthday, I made a Mississippi Mud Pie to celebrate.  The pie tasted a lot better than it looked.  It was impossible to get a clean slice; I can't imagine how they did it in Baked Explorations.

This cake was quite labor extensive but definitely worth it for the chocolate lover in your life.  It starts with a chocolate cookie crust.  Then a flourless chocolate cake.  Followed by the chocolate pudding.  Finished with whipped cream.  It was a very dense and rich pie.
