In the movie

Theatrical

01:14:27 Jenna teaches Dawn to bake, melting chocolate into a crust and pouring berries over the top — 'Mama used to call this the Lonely Chicago Pie,' one of the hundreds of oddly named pies passed down to her.

It's the one pie in the film handed down rather than invented — Jenna teaching Dawn the same lesson her own mother once taught her, melting chocolate and pouring berries the way she was shown, the name older than either of them.

Ingredients

1 blind-baked pie crust
10 oz semisweet chocolate, melted
2 cups mixed berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries)
2 tablespoons sugar
Whipped cream, to finish

Method

Pour the melted chocolate into the baked crust in an even layer; chill until set, about 30 minutes.
Toss the berries with the sugar.
Pour the berries over the set chocolate layer, letting them settle into a loose pile.
Chill briefly, then finish with whipped cream.
