The other finalists will be posted on the Ice Cream Journal this week and voting for the winner will begin on Thursday, with the winner receiving a one year’s supply of Turkey Hill Ice Cream. The other three finalists will all receive a one month supply of ice cream. Congrats to them, and enjoy the recipes!
If you like chocolate, then you’ll love this old fashioned recipe with an egg nog twist. It was sent to us by Ronna F. of Rockville, MD. Like the Peppermint Stick cookies from yesterday, this one is also simple, but just as delicious. The warm, leftover chocolate pie filling makes an great topping for ice cream, which you can eat while you’re waiting for this masterpiece to cool!
INGREDIENTS
Filling:
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
2 3/4 cups Turkey Hill Eggnog Ice Cream, melted, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 – 9-inch frozen pie shell, baked according to package directions
Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
1. Place semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips into a medium-sized heat-proof bowl.
2. Set aside 3/4 cup melted ice cream.
3. In small saucepan over low heat, heat remaining 2 cups melted ice cream until very hot, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
4. Stir hot ice cream into chocolate. Allow to stand for a minute, then stir or whisk gently until smooth. Set aside.
5. In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; set aside.
6. Place eggs in small bowl; with fork, gradually beat in 3/4 cup remaining melted ice cream.
7. Pour egg mixture into sugar mixture in saucepan. With whisk, stir until combined, scraping pot sides and bottom with rubber spatula.
8. Stir until mixture comes to a boil. Boil and stir 1-1/2 minutes; remove from heat.
9. Immediately add melted chocolate mixture and vanilla. Gently stir until combined.
10. Pour into the cooled pie crust. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the pie, having it touch the filling so that a skin won’t form in the refrigerator; chill for at least 4 hours.
11. For whipped topping, in a medium mixing bowl, beat cream with powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff.
12. Spread over chocolate cream pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings or mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, if desired. Store pie in refrigerator.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
oh my god, that looks so delicious. wish i could make one right this second! lol.
OMG, I love eggnog & I love turkey Hill Ice cream! ummm (foaming at the mouth) LOL!

After reading the recipe and drooling over it, I DO believe I could make this at home!!!Thank you.
For the record I did make it poured it into a Keebler Nilla wafer crust….. then dropped it on the island between the stove and the fridge. I lost half the pie. So I cleaned up the portion that fliped off the table to the floor, cleaned my hands, grabbed a bowl Gave myself a dbl scoop of Philly style chocolate and topped it with a large scoop of the noggy pudding crumble. Taste good though!
Oh my it looks so good I have to make this for my hubby I know he will love it as will I!
Its 8:40AM and I WANT this pie RIGHT NOW
If only I could get someone to make it for me!!!
That pie looks really yummy, I am going to make it this weekend.
