Chocolate Strawberry Pie


So, I made a yummy pie for some friends tonight and it was delicious! I wanted to include the recipe for all of those who were interested in making it. The recipe came from a wonderful place called Miss Aimee B's Tea House in St. Charles, MO. If you are ever in the area it is a great place to eat.

Ingredients: Oreo Cookie Crust, 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 (8oz) cream cheese, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 Tsp. vanilla, 12 oz Cool Whip (thawed in refrigerator), 1 quart fresh Strawberries, 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.



Filling: Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler or in the microwave, cool slightly. Beat Cream Cheese until light and fluffy with electric mixer. Add brown sugar and vanilla, mix well. Add chocolate to the cream cheese mixture. Mix Well. Fold in the cool whip. Mix again. Spoon filling into the crust. Smooth out top. Cover tightly and chill at least 8 hours.



To finish the pie, wash strawberries, pat dry, and cut lengthwise into 1/8 inch slices. Arrange around the outside edge of the pie. Make a second row, overlapping the first. Continue overlapping rows until the pie has been covered. Heat the 1/4 cup chocolate and drizzle over the berries. Chill and Serve the same day!

Yummy! Sounds WONDERFUL! You'll have to make that for the 4th... Jason will have to go back home after the Zoo, but the kids and I will be there until Sunday. Just an idea, though! :)
