Malt Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 Graham Cracker Crust (buy it or bake it)
• 8 oz. Heavy Whipping Cream
• 1 Tbls. Honey
• 6 oz. Malt Powder (in the aisle with chocolate milk powders)
• ¾ oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate (or milk chocolate, whatever you're into)

Melt chocolate in double-boiler. Drizzle about a ¹⁄₃ of melted chocolate on the bottom and sides of crust. Not too much because it will be hard to cut. Let stand to cool.

Whip Cream and Honey to half stiffness. Add Malt, finish whipping. Spoon into Crust and put it in the freezer to set-up, 20 or 25 minutes should do it.

Re-melt Chocolate. Use a wooden spoon handle or something like it, to cut ‘grooves’ into the cream, from one side of the pie to the other, about a half-inch deep. Pour remaining chocolate into the ‘grooves’, and drizzle lightly on top.

Refrigerate until the chocolate is cool. Serve cold.

Enjoy!

 

This Pie's Story: This pie created itself in my mind one night, spontaneously. I'd spent the evening listening to records with a friend: Aerosmith, Patti Smith, The Pretenders, Alice Cooper, Husker Du, Black Sabbath, and even David Bowie. When I finally went to bed, this pie recipe appeared to me. So I made it. And it's really good. I served it at a dinner party and people said: “This is really good.” And they're right.
