Chocolate Cream Pie
Omit bananas and coconut. Add to water and cornstarch mixture the 5 TBSN of Coco. Wisk this until smooth. Follow the rest of the cream recipe. For Chocolate lovers try an Oreo Crust and shave some chocolate on top of cool whip.

Can you add tags to this and the pizza recipe so I can find them again later? They look awesome and I don't wanna lose them forever due to my laziness in scrolling through old posts. :)

I'm not sure on how to tag, I'm a new blogger, but I'll get some help and tag them asap.
