Chocolate - Pecan Pie with Bourbon Whipped Cream
Kentucky Chocolate - Pecan Pie
Add a tablespoon of bourbon or a teaspoon of rum flavoring to this pie for a more "spirited" flavor.
* 1 9-inch pie shell, unbaked
* 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
* 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick/4 ounces)
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* pinch salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
Spread chopped nuts over the bottom of the prepared (unbaked) pie shell; sprinkle with chocolate morsels.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in sugars, flour, salt, vanilla, and butter. Pour batter evenly over nuts and chocolate chips. Bake in a 325° oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
Bourbon Whipped Cream
* 1 cup chilled whipping cream
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 teaspoon good bourbon (or 1/2 teaspoon rum flavoring)
For best results, chill bowl and beaters. Beat cream until thickened; add sugar and flavoring, then beat until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Depends- what kind of whipped cream you are referring to. Spray whipped cream? Cool Whip type whipped cream? Real Cream that is for whipping? If it's real cream for whipping you can make homemade ice cream. Take a 1 quart ziploc freezer bag and put in 2 cups cream or half cream and half milk and 1/2 c. sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Close the bag and Place this bag inside a 1 gallon freezer bag. Fill the remainder of the space with ice and 1/4 c. salt. Close the larger bag and shake, roll, or whatever to keep the stuff moving for about 20 minutes. My boys wrap theirs up in a bath towel the long way and each boy holds an end and the swing it back and forth. After 20 minutes remove the small bag and see if you ice cream is at least the consistancy of soft serve. If not, put it back in, add more ice and more salt to the large bag and go another round. IF it is set up- scoop it out and sprinkle choc chips on top! Beautiful!!!
If it's the other kinds of whipped cream- fill a bowl with it and sprinkle chocolate chips on top!!! Beautiful!!!

What i make with whipped cream and chocolate chip morsels is a creamy chocolate frosting. It is really good on a chocolate cake, or cupcakes. I found that many people like it on pancakes or crepes. It is very simple. All you have to do is melt the chocolate chips and the cool whip together (about 1 cup of chocolate to 1/2 cup of cool whip, or more cool whip to make it thinner, or less to make it thicker). It is very easy, and very good!

You can buy chocolate pudding mix or cookies and cream pudding mix, and buy a chocolate pie crust. Mix the whipped cream, pudding mix, milk and the chocolate chips together. Pour into the crust, refrigerate for an hour or 2. Then top it off with the rest of the whipped cream and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top

1 3/4 cups whipping cream
12 ounces quality semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 ounces espresso or strong coffee
1 tablespoon dark rum
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon flavorless, granulated gelatin
Chill 1 1/2 cups whipping cream in refrigerator. Chill metal mixing bowl and mixer beaters in freezer.
In top of a double boiler, combine chocolate chips, coffee, rum and butter. Melt over barely simmering water, stirring constantly. Remove from heat while a couple of chunks are still visible. Cool, stirring occasionally to just above body temperature.
Pour remaining 1/4 cup whipping cream into a metal measuring cup and sprinkle in the gelatin. Allow gelatin to "bloom" for 10 minutes. Then carefully heat by swirling the measuring cup over a low gas flame or candle. Do not boil or gelatin will be damaged. Stir mixture into the cooled chocolate and set aside.
In the chilled mixing bowl, beat cream to medium peaks. Stir 1/4 of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Fold in the remaining whipped cream in two doses. There may be streaks of whipped cream in the chocolate and that is fine. Do not over work the mousse.
Spoon into bowls or martini glasses and chill for at least 1 hour. Garnish with fruit and serve.
(If mousses are to be refrigerated overnight, chill for one hour and then cover each with plastic wrap)
And just replace the whipping cream with your whipped cream.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES
½ C. butter, unsalted
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
¼ C. sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
Butter and flour custard cups or specialty molds. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Melt the butter and chocolate, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside. Beat together the 2 eggs plus 2 yolks and the sugar, until it's light and thick... about 5 minutes. Pour the now tepid chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, and beat to mix. Quickly beat in the flour until just mixed in. Pour into the custard cups. (At this point you can refrigerate for up to 24 hours. If you refrigerate, let return to room temp before you bake.) Put custard cups on a baking sheet and bake at 450ºF for 6-7 minutes. The outside will be set up, but the top may still be slightly wiggly. Invert on plate, let sit for 10 seconds or so, remove custard cup. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and surround with a raspberry sauce or add a scoop of ice cream or real whipped cream on the side -- your choice.

Use the whipped cream as a topper on your hot chocolate or cappucino. Use the chocolate chip morsels as a topper for french toast or pancakes-just pop them on top while in the frying pan and they will melt a bit and taste delicious.

You could make a nice ganache to put on a cake.
http://www.kraftfoods.com/recipes/CakesPiesCheesecakes/FrostingsFillings/ChocolateGanache.html
(This one calls for 4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate, but you can substitute chips for the squares. One square of baking chocolate is 1 oz.) Four squares = 4 ounces = 1/2 c. chocolate chips.

If you melt the chocolate morsels down, let them cool, and layer them with the whipped cream, you could make a parfait.
