Chocolate Pie with Peppermint Whipped Cream

Today is National Pie Day. What better way to celebrate than sharing a recipe for a quick and easy chocolate pie with peppermint whipped cream?

Back in November, I ran with an idea I’ve had for a while. I started teaching kids baking classes. The first class was the day before Thanksgiving. When planning what to make, I knew that pie had to be on the list.

My only concern with adding pie to the list, was not having enough time. It was a two hour class with about 6 kids. I needed something that would be able to be made in that time and also set enough for the whipped topping.

My mom has always made the best chocolate pie. She always makes it for Thanksgiving and it’s always a hit. Best of all, it’s semi-homemade- quick and easy to make. I decided to go with the way she makes it, but using individual pie crusts which would allow the pie to set before the two hours was up.

Below you’ll find the recipe for the pie. I also made homemade whipped cream to go with. I thought it would be fun for the kids to make during the class. I have a Pampered Chef whipped cream maker, which is what I used But, here is a similar one on Amazon. The recipe for whipped cream is below as well.

The kids had a great time making these mini pies. They were really easy and everything worked out time wise. They made the filling right when class started. We put the pies immediately into the fridge and left them for an hour. By the time the hour was up, the pie was set and we made the whipped cream. To top them off, we used shaved chocolate. All you need for that is a grater and a bar or semi-sweet chocolate(see pic above.) Again, really easy but looks like you spend hours making. Enjoy!
