I made this pie for Spencer's work party yesterday. You can buy Ancho Chilis in the Mexican section of your grocery store. The Ancho Chili brings out the chocolate flavor. It isn't at all spicy--my little girls love it!! It is really good with vanilla ice cream on the side and a sprinkle of cinamon. The recipe is from ZTejas restaurant. We went to ZTejas one year for my birthday and fell in love with this dessert. Luckily the recipe was posted on their web site.

I love this pie. I have been wishing you would make me one and drop it by, since I tasted yours about 3 years ago... But now, I have the recipe. Thanks!
I'm going to make this for Cam because he loves ZTejas. And I am starting to get motivated about actually planning meals for the week. For reals this time.
