This was my first time on this pie and this recipe and it came out divine.

I did use storebought crust, Ghirardelli cocoa powder, cornstarch, and because I’m lactose intolerant, I used clarified brown butter and homemade evaporated nondairy milk.

It came out perfect. The crust was golden, the pie just set, fudgy but also light with that crackly crust.

Next time, I want to see about reducing the sweetness and maybe add a pinch of black pepper.

This pie turns out so lovely! I’ve made it twice and I’m making again today and going to try adding walnuts!!

In reply to Amy M Buckner. I just use my regular pie dishes and haven't had any issues with it overflowing. Hopefully it came out okay!

My filling was over flowing out the crust when I tried to put it in the oven. Is this recipe for a deep dish pan? Hope it comes out okay otherwise!!

In reply to SaintsBaker. I haven't tried it, but I think it would be fine! You can use my graham cracker crust recipe here, I'd recommend pre-baking it for 10 minutes at 350°F before you add the filling.

Question – Would this work with a graham crust? Thanks in advance!

Just realized I don’t have the instant espresso – was going to make this for thanksgiving tomorrow! Hoping it won’t make a huge difference – I know it brings out the flavor of the chocolate.

I made this for my birthday and it was rich and decadent, had a very fudge-like texture and definitely satisfied my chocolate pie craving! Used a Mrs. Smith’s frozen pie shell which I blind baked using a method I like. I lightly prick the shell all over with a fork, then place another metal pie plate into the shell instead of beans or pie weights, then bake at 400 for 10 minutes.
