Dark Chocolate Ginger Cream Pie

Ginger is my mother. Growing up, none of my friend’s mothers had such an “exotic” name. I loved saying her name and to this day I still refer to her using her full name “Ginger Patrick–not mom. This is Ginger Patrick’s pie. A rich dark chocolate pie with just a subtle hint of ginger–not at all like Ginger Patrick.
