easy pie recipe, just for Aiz

Take one pint of heavy cream and pour it in a large heavy sauce pan. Add about 1 cup of strawberry preserves. Whisk the cream and presrves over low heat until the preserves melt into the cream. When you just start to see bubbles coming up from the heat, pull the pan off the heat. Whisk in semisweet chocolate chips, 12 to 16 ounces which is usually about one bag. Whisk the cream and chocolate together until smooth.

Put the mixture in the fridge to thicken and chill. Every fifteen to twenty minutes, take it out and whisk a little to make fluffy. After about an hour it should be thick enough to put into a pie crust. You can use pastry or cookie crust. (I prefer cookie crumb crusts.) Spoon the mix into the pie shell. Decorate with chocolate chips, fruit bits or whipped cream.

The trick to keeping it from being over sweet is to use semi-sweet chips. If you don't like strawberry, you can use raspberry, cherry or any other preserves. Make sure you get the good preserves made with real fruit.

Holy hell.

This makes me want to bake. Between this and my first successful tart a few days ago, I now have two easy-ish recipes. We'll report all progress back to you soon.
