My Tomorrow is Really Today

Yeah, I said I would post a review on Thursday, but, well, hmmmmm. No excuses.

The chocolate peppermint pie. A YIPPEE! pie. I'd say this pie is a lot like Katy Perry. In the right context, this pie is reallllllly good, but we aren't looking for any awards here folks, just mindless entertainment.

From a looks point-of-view, the chocolate on top needs to be darker. I would half the amount of custard that I mixed into the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I did like the smooth and fluffy consistency of both layers of the pie, so a thicker layer really isn't necessary. I would consider (and thanks to the advice of my royal tasters Ryan and David) a different crust. Maybe Oreo or chocolate wafer? Who knows, but I'm making this pie again for Christmas.

P.S. I thought my little guy would like this pie, but he simply said, "Mom, I'm not a fan." The peppermint is probably too strong for kidlets. Peppermint is an acquired taste. Remember sneaking a swig of your parents' Peppermint Schnapps when you were younger and thinking, "Oh holy sh*t, what the hell did I just drink?!?!" Wait, you never did that? Oh, and I was probably more like 12 and not 3. And, well, alcohol is definitely an acquired taste. I don't know why I wrote this, but, well, hmmmmm.
