CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE





What can I say about this?  It was just so rich and wonderful and chocolate.  I would think of this as a special occasion treat - a very special special occasion treat. Be careful. It's easy to have treats like this throw off your whole diet.  Even if low carb, they should not be every day foods.  I made this today for our Father's day dinner for my husband.  You definitely need others to share this with, and they will be very thankful that you shared it with them.
