Dessert game food porn, people!

I was going to include this with the game food porn post, but it was getting long, so I broke it off. Because the Packers' epic win over the Cowgirls was a 4:30 game, Sunday's game food was also dinner. Naturally, we had to have dessert. Because Mrs. Wolves wants to find the chocolate pie of her childhood, I have about a thousand chocolate pie recipes that I have to try. Sunday was the first. So here goes.

First of all, make a graham cracker pie crust. Or buy one. I made one, using nine chocolate graham crackers and a half stick of butter. Run the grahma crackers through a blender, mix in a melted half stick of butter (and a little water if needed to fully moisten the crumbs), then spread the mixture over a nine-inch pie pan. Bake at 375 for 5-10 minutes, until set. Put that sucker aside.


Line up the rest of your ingrediments. You're looking at a stick of butter, 2-3 ounces of unsweetened or semi-sweetened chocolate, 2 tablespoons of flour, a pinch of salt, 1-1/4 cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup -- Karo, people -- 2 tablespooons of coffee liqueur, 1-1/2 teaspoons of vanilla and 3 eggs.


 Melt the butter and the chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat.


 Remove that mixture from the heat, stir in the flour and salt. Mix it up right.


Once that mixture is stirred smooth, add the sugar, corn syrup, coffee liqueur and vanilla. Again, mix it up right:


You being all mixed up now, add the eggs one at a time. Mix each egg thoroughly before adding the next one. Seriously, you guys:


All eggs added and mixed up right, pour the mixture into the crust you made or bought:


Obviously, I was using a wooden spoon, but you might want to switch to a spatula at this point to make sure that all of that chocolately goodness makes its way into the crust. Anyway, put that into the oven at 375 for about 30 minutes. When it is done, the top of the pie will be a little cracked, kind of like brownies:


Enjoy that sucker. More chocolate pies coming soon. That one, by the way, is already gone.
