I put coconut on top of the pie crust and then poured the chocolate pie filling on top. Then I put toasted coconut shavings on top of the homemade whipped cream. It makes a wonderful toasted coconut chocolate pie

I used approx 1/3c cocoa powder instead of a candy bar , added a couple drops of stevia glycerine (instead of extra sugar) and it worked out wonderfully

In reply to Alison. Hi Alison! I haven't personally tried it, but I think it could work. Be sure not to overfill your crust as this recipe will likely need more batter than you need for a tart size crust. Enjoy! :)

Hello! Could I use a blind baked pate sucree crust done in a 9” tart pan for this? Instead of using a pie crust… thanks!

In reply to Erin. Hi Erin! While this pie does set and is slice-able, I'm not sure it would hold the weight of another cake on top of it. :(

Could I use this pie filling for a filling with chocolate cake instead? My plan was to make 2 8″ chocolate cakes and put the pudding between them. Thank you!

I made this for pi day and it turned out so good! I shopped at Trader Joe’s so I was worried about getting good enough chocolate but I bought the Belgian dark bars and it was great. I read your warnings in the comments about the thickening and had a podcast going to not rush it. I used the rest of the cream that I bought for whipped cream and served with fresh berries. A big hit!

In reply to Darcie. Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Darcie! It sounds like it may have been over-heated and broken. :( Did you run it through a fine mesh strainer?

I spent HOURS on Christmas dinner and made this pie the night before. Everyone said that the pie was the best part!
It was so delicious!! Will definitely be making this any chance I get! I didn’t have plastic wrap so I put a sheet of tin foil on top and it worked just as well.
Thank you for sharing!

I’ve been making your recipe for thanksgiving and Christmas for years. My nieces always ask if auntie is making her chocolate pie. This year I will also be making it for the fire station as my husband recently made a career change and has to work this Christmas. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this recipe! Happy Holidays.

In reply to Philip Mason. Hi Philip! I'm so glad you have been enjoying the recipes and really appreciate you trusting them, that means a lot to me! I’m sorry this one missed the mark for you, especially when it’s tied to a special memory with your grandmother. My version is meant to be a classic, old-fashioned chocolate pie with a pudding-style filling: dense in the sense that it’s sliceable and silky, but not heavy, fudgy, or difficult to cut. If yours leaned more toward dense/thick than creamy, let me know and I’m happy to help troubleshoot what might’ve happened. It may also be that the style you grew up with was a bit different. Could you tell me a little about the pie you and your grandmother made? Was it fluffier or lighter? Did it include cream cheese or whipped cream/Cool whip? I'm wondering if maybe I can point you in the direction of something that may be a bit closer to what you are looking for

I just wanna start off by saying I’ve tried over 30 of your recipes and each one that I’ve made has given me amazing amazing results from everybody that’s tried them and then there’s this recipe. I love a good chocolate pie. I’ve made them since I was a child with my grandmother and I wanted to try a different recipe and I seen that you had one and to put it lightly, this was not it, and it was so upsetting. I feel like I did something wrong, but I followed every step of the way, but the taste was just off in a little bit too dense even with the whipped cream.

In reply to BT. I'm so sorry to hear this! You may have just needed it to thicken a little bit more when cooking it if it was that soft. :(

Followed the instructions to the letter. Stirred constantly over medium (4) heat until it thickened. Let sit overnight before cutting. It holds its form for a couple minutes, then falls out of the crust onto the plate.

I made this for Thanksgiving using half 85% and half 60% chocolate bars (so, basically, 72%) and a homemade Oreo crust. My MIL took 80% of the pie home and my husband never even got a piece 🤣 She texted me for the following two days telling me how good it was. It was surprisingly easy to make and man it was delicious. Thank you so much for the recipe.

In reply to Caitie. Hi Caitie! It's important to have patience when heating the filling. Make sure to stir frequently and check the note below the recipe for some further help. :)

Hey, how do I keep my eggs from cooking in the chocolate pudding? Thanks!

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. I made this for my coworkers but with a graham crust. Everyone loved it.
