mocha java pie and then some!!!!

on a lighter note...
it is HOT in memphis so i searched for a good dessert recipe to take to some friends house for dinner.

this is the link to the recipe i found online...
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art25453.asp
(which has several good recipes)

but of course i had to change a few things...

i had to substitute for the chocolate wafers which were nowhere to be found oddly enough (i could find 20 different brands of vanilla wafers!!!) but this turned out to be a good thing because i got a couple of boxes of nonni's chocolate biscotti decadence instead! so i followed the directions with the butter for that. then i layered on the starbucks java chip, then more crunched up biscotti, then some haagen daas vanilla ice cream, then more java chip.

what happened to the leftover java chip ice cream? well...my husband sacrificed his diet - and it would not be for the last time over the next few days...

made the whipped cream the next day - i did not use the powdered sugar and cocoa - i just used some raw sugar and some godiva hot cocoa powder that was laying around the pantry.

we had some for dessert at our friends' house and left them several large pieces.
then we had some for dessert after lunch on Sunday (when i made some broiled tilapia marinated in orange sesame marinade from 'Drews', stir fried veges and couscous).
and there is STILL some pie left over.

then...today i forgot my gym bag at home and so i ate pizza at lunch instead of exercising...this is sooo NOT a good thing...
