Did you know June is National Dairy Month? This week I'll be sharing recipes that feature some of our favorite dairy products. I'd like to thank From Gate to Plate and Cooking with Carlee for hosting this event, be sure to check out the recipes they and the other bloggers are sharing via the links at the bottom of the post!
I'm kicking things off with this fantastic no bake Frosty Chocolate Pie. We've had some hot weather here in New England, and I've been pinning no bake desserts like crazy. I knew this one would be a winner with my guys. It came together in no time at all.
I did cheat and use a store bought Oreo crust because I had it on hand. I upped the dairy products even more by making my own whipped cream- 1/2c of heavy cream and 1T sugar. For quickest and best results when whipping cream, be sure to chill the bowl and beaters of your mixer in the freezer.
I had grand plans to photograph the finished pie. The heat, along with the eagerness of my taste testers, made that impossible. I may have wanted to put down the camera and enjoy my own slice as well. Thank you to Maria R for sharing her recipe!
