Yes, two years later and I finally get around to watching ''The Help''. What a great movie! But one can't walk away without wondering about Minny's Chocolate Pie. Luckily for me, Food and Wine had the same questing and sought out Lee Ann Flemming, the food stylist from the movie.
The pie itself was uber-simple. You just need a handful of ingredients -- all of which are pantry staples. The filling then comes together in minutes. All you need to do next is kick up your feet and wait for it to bake.
I used dough scraps to make decorative hearts for the top of the pie. I bet a stenciled powdered sugar design would also be fun. Or, you can also serve it like Minny with a dollop of whipped cream.
Thanks for sharing this one with me (like all the others)! I really enjoyed the pasty hearts on top. They were a tasty touch!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you may certainly *serve* the pie just as Minnie had done, but please do not *make* the pie exactly as she had done. 8-O
