Joy's Chocolate Pie

This pie is so easy! And so good. I came across the recipe by way of my sister-in-law's blog. Wanting to make something festive for the 4th, I found this just in the nick of time!

Recipe below is copied and pasted from in so many wards. Thanks Joy. This one is going down in my go-to dessert recipes.

the recipe is from Southern Living (Feb. 2010).

ingredients:

1 refrigerated pie crust

6 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares, chopped

14 oz. can of fat-free sweetened condensed milk

8 oz. fat free cool-whip (thawed)

fresh raspberries for garnish

make/cook piecrust according to directions on package.

while the crust cools, microwave the chocolate until melted, stirring every 30 seconds.

whisk in the milk until smooth; let stand 2 minutes.

fold in half of the cool-whip until combined and pour into crust.

chill 4-8 hours. spread rest of cool-whip over pie and garnish with raspberries.

Confession: I used regular sweetened condensed milk {not fat free}. I have issues {and fears} about fat free/ sugar free things. But after experiencing the richness {and deliciousness} of this pie I'm definitely going with the fat free next time.

Baby steps, right?!
