Snow Ghost Chocolate Cream Pie

"Cut from a women's magazine many years ago. As I remember, it was an American recipe and the title had some significance. Maybe someone here can enlighten!  “The legend of the snow ghost…the Snow Ghost would go around each winter looking for pies that were cooling in a window sill. Chocolate was the Snow Ghosts favorite. When he spotted a chocolate cream pie he took a slice for himself and left snow (whipped cream) all over the top.”   To decorate the pie, take out one slice then pipe a ghost and snow flakes all over the remaining pie. Serve the pie with the legend! "
