Iced Chocolate

As I sit here in my family room with a fire burning in the fireplace and my husband refusing the admit its way to damn hot in here these iced chocolate drinks look really tasty.

Makes 4

4 teaspoons thick chocolate desert sauce
600ml skim milk
1/4 cup chocolate flavouring
12 ice cubes
4 scoops light vanilla icecream

Put thick chocolate dessert sauce on the end of a teaspoon and make chocolate dots on the sides of 4 tall glasses. In a blender or food processor, pour 600ml skim milk, 1/4 cup of chocolate flavouring and the ice from 1 tray of ice cubes. Process until crushed and smooth. Pour milkshake into glasses, top with a scoop of light vanilla ice cream and serve.

How to Make a Chocolate Crumb Crust

This pie crust is very easy to do. So easy that you may never want to buy one again.

1 package chocolate cookie wafers
1/4 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of butter melted


Position a rack in the middle of your oven and heat it to 450 degrees. Select a 9 inch pie plate (preferably glass).
Crush wafers into fine crumbs. You can break them into pieces in a food processor and process until fine or put them into a zip lock bag and beat the crap out of them. In a mixing bowl combine crumbs, sugar, butter using a fork until all ingredients are slightly moistened. Press the crumb mixture into the sides of the pie plate with your fingers. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes and then allow to cool and chill before filling with what ever goodies your heart desires.
