for your chocolate cream pie, do you prefer milk chocolate, or darker?

[grasswire]

Which is your favorite for chocolate cream pie? A milk chocolate like an old-fashioned Hershey bar? Or a pie that has some darker cocoa in it? Whipped cream on top, of course.

Please advise.

1. Yes.

Who cares as long as it's chocolate.

[woo me with science]

2. My very favorite pie

uses semi-sweet chocolate: melted down chocolate chips.

3. 6 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate + 1 oz unsweetened chocolate

Makes for a more complex flavor

7. the pie I made the other day...

...used 12 oz semi-sweet and 2 T dark cocoa powder. It was very rich, but the whipped cream softened that a bit.

8. Both

Layers, perhaps?

You know how the Marie Callendar's German Chocolate pie is? It has a bottom layer of dark chocolate and then the cream part is more like milk chocolate. Like that.

11. HW, you might try that recipe

It's the King Arthur one. 12 oz semi-sweet chips and 2 T dark cocoa. The texture is thick and creamy. No problem slicing or holding shape. And it didn't soften the bottom crust, not even after two days in the fridge.

I still have 2/3 of it left. I can't have more than a taste.
