How To Make easy chocolate holiday pie

• 1

  Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
• 2

  In a 9-inch pie pan, create your favorite unbaked pie shell. I use a refrigerator crust.
• 3

  In a double boiler, or over gently rolling hot water, melt the butter and the chocolate together. Add the salt and stir as the chocolate and butter melt.
• 4

  Once the chocolate is melted, slowly add the sweetened condensed milk (still over the hot water to keep the chocolate melted), whisking it into the chocolate mix each time until it is all incorporated.
• 5

  Add the cream cheese in small pieces, whisking thoroughly to be sure it is completely incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
• 6

  Whisk in the peppermint extract to the chocolate mixture.
• 7

  Take the filling off the hot water. Stir in the coconut and walnuts until they are fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
• 8

  Break the egg over the filling and whisk into the filling until completely mixed in.
• 9

  Pour the filling into the pie shell.

  Put the pie into the oven. immediately turn the oven down to 325 degrees. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the filling is set. Serve with whipped cream and julienned orange peel, or crushed peppermint sticks, or shaved chocolate, if desired.
