Chocolate Peppermint Pie

From: Shelly...
1 candy cane crushed
1 jar or Mrs. Richardson's fudge sauce
1 1/2 cup of heavy mixing cream
Mix with a whisk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 t. salt
3 T sugar
In a microwave safe bowl add your sugar mix along with 2 cups of milk, whisk.  Microwave 3 minutes whisk, microwave 3 minutes whisk, microwave 2 minutes whisk.  In a separate bowl whisk 3 egg yolks together, temper this by adding a couple spoonfuls of the hot milk mixture to the eggs while stirring vigorously.  Add all of this back into the milk mixture and microwave for 2 more minutes and whisk.  Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 T vanilla.  Cover with saran wrap and let chill in the refrigerator.
Once pudding is cooled put the heavy whipping cream into your kitchen aid and beat until stiff peaks appear.  Remove about 1 cup of whipped cream and reserve this for your topping.  Add the chocolate pudding to the remaining cream and mix just until combined.  Put this into a prepared cooked crust, let chill in fridge until ready to serve.  Just before serving decorate the top with your reserved cream and sprinkle on the crushed candy canes.  This is to die for, it looks like a lot of work but it really doesn't take that long, I make this every year for Thanksgiving, don't plan on left overs:) Look under pies for the pie crust recipe.
