Mother's Day Pie

When I was down in my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky this Easter, my brother Tim blew us away with a dessert he had made. It was Paula Deen's Chocolate Chip Pie. Imagine the gooiest, most delicious chocolate chip cookie you ever had.....on steroids, times 1000!!! That's how good this pie was. So I decided to make it for Mother's day. The above pies are the one's that just came out of my oven this morning...I wish you could smell them....I wish I could eat them right now! The pie is served with a homemade whipped cream studded with mini chocolate chips but I am going to wait until Sunday morning to make that. Here's the recipe if you want to make it for your Mom.
