For the Chocolate Lover on Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you devoted, loving veg dads out there! Since I always like to make my hubby a sweet treat on Father's Day, I decided to share a NEW recipe with you all for the special dads in your lives.

Remember this "Chocolate Dipped Strawberries" Pie?

You got it, folks! Link through for the recipe. Strawberries are in season, it's the perfect time to make this pie (and, it's easy enough to make this morning and enjoy later this evening).

Enjoy, and have a beautiful Father's Day. :)

"Chocolate Dipped Strawberries" Pie

I made this pie for hubby for Valentine's Day (I know, I'm late getting to the photo)!

I wanted to make something rich and sublime, and centered on chocolate. The pint of fresh organic strawberries sitting in my fridge were also essential to any decadent creation I concocted. I didn't want to simmer, puree, or cook the strawberries in any fashion. Instead, I was inspired to tuck the fresh strawberries into a chocolate truffle cream pie...

so into the kitchen I went! After making this pie, I realized that a slice of pie was like eating chocolate dipped strawberries - but better, and with more chocolate! So, I honored it with the name of "Chocolate Dipped Strawberries" Pie! And, the pie turned out just as I had hoped - rich, chocolately, with bursts of fresh strawberries... entirely sublime.

This will be one of the new recipes you will have a chance to vote on - but I still have at least one more new recipe to showcase before I launch the vote... so stay with me!
