Talking with Columbia Crest this afternoon the topic of mini pies came up (we were talking about our Mother's day event). So I made some mini pie crusts, tart size. I gave my littlest boy the reins; whipping cream, Travelers, all natural raspberry lollipops, and basically what ever he needed.
Getting the kitchen aid out of the corner, he chose the flat beater, one tablespoon of butter. He used a half cup of HOT water, a cup and a half of Traveler's and started mixing. The chocolate melted down well - a few pieces remained :)
He added the whipping cream - really too warm to thicken up. He replaced the flat beater with the whisk and started the machine back up. Of course he turned it on full blast and the hum of the motor raised as did the smile on his face.
He kind of spooned (poured) the mixture into the pie shells and put them in the fridge. About 15 minutes later he put them in the freezer.
And for dessert this evening we had homemade mini ice cream pie with lollipops stuck on top.

My life with chocolate began gradually; a love affair that bloomed into an awakening. Chocolate serves as a special hallmark in every stage of life, bringing with it the memories and creation of traditions. As a small child sitting at the kitchen table on a crisp afternoon, warming my little hands on a mug of chocolate, a sense of security and family found a home silently within my heart. Chocolate is truly a special conduit to share love and appreciation.
