Happy National Pie Day

My favorite pie: Key Lime
But...because we are going APE over chocolate lately...
On today's menu:
Mint Chocolate Velvet Pie

2 cups milk chocolate chips
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2-1 teaspoon mint
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 prepared chocolate cookie pie crust

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10-20 second spurts, stirring until smooth.

In a large mixing bowl, beat melted chocolate, cream cheese, mint extract, and vanilla.
Fold in whipped cream. Pour into pie crust. Refrigerate until firm. Top with extra whipped cream and shaved chocolate if you choose, because options are always nice.
