March 14 is Pie Day (you know, because pi is 3.14 . . . ) and, one year, my boys and I decided to go find us some pie to celebrate. Every pie shop we could think of in Brooklyn and Manhattan had a line out the door, so we beelined it straight to the grocery store to buy our own pie fixings, thank you very much. I made a very simple riff on chocolate cream pie that was so rich and soulful, we decided every Pie Day would be Chocolate Cream Pie Day from that point forward. Made in a sheet pan, this is simply chocolate cream pie . . . squared.
