My very first pie!

Double Chocolate Berry Pie

Inspiration: "Lonely Chicago Pie" and "Strawberry Oasis Pie" from the movie Waitress. 

I didn't follow a recipe because I was missing a lot of ingredients like butter, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Worry not, my pie turned out extremely well!  My parents, who are by not means desserts people, have been raving about it all night long :-).  And, this recipe is super simple! 

Recipe

Ingredients:

10-15 fresh strawberries diced (sorry, I lost count of strawberries because I ate some along the way...)

1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries

1 1/2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup of soymilk (was a bit nervous about this but all is good!)

1 egg, beaten 

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 tablespoon of cornstarch

1 9-in graham cracker pie crust (from the store)

Instructions: 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

2. Combine beaten egg, brown sugar, soymilk, vanilla, and cornstarch. Mix well.  Then mix in strawberries and blueberries

3. Pour mixture into a small pot with medium heat and stir for ~5mins or until everything is mushy and gooey

4. Melt 1 cup of chocolate in microwave for 90 secs and spread liberally over the bottom and sides of the pie crust

5. Pour berry mixture from pot into pie crust, on top of melted chocolate. Do not mix.

6. Bake pie at 400 degrees F for 20 mins

7. Melt remainder 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in microwave for 60 secs and spread liberally over the top of pie

I know modesty is a virtue but YUM!
