Have you ever been involved in a progressive party? Do you know what it is? Each dish involved in a party is prepared by different hosts and hostesses. Appetizers are enjoyed in one house with some cocktails. Salads are then enjoyed at another home and then it keeps going from there. You get in your car and you enjoy your next dish with the next hostess.
Love it? You should try it sometime. Why do I bring this up? Well, I have a virtual progressive party for you. A whole bunch of ladies and cooks were assigned or they volunteered to create delicious dishes.
Our theme was “Hot and Cold”. You can only imagine what summer dishes can bring to your table. I contemplated making a chocolate chipotle cake or a chocolate peppermint cake but I totally changed my mind.
Fourth of July is literally around the corner and I all I could think about was pie. Chocolate pie. This pie is eaten really cold with some fresh berries. I do not add whipped cream but that is ALWAYS an option for those who love it.
The dessert takes 15 minutes to prepare and 2 hours to cool. Make it overnight and you will have a delicious pie. I wish these ladies could be here to enjoy it.
