This pie is wonderful! I made it for Easter and it was a huge hit with my family. Many people wanted seconds, but not too big because it is rich.
I substituted a graham cracker crust for the pastry crust that it called for.

I made this pie and it was a big hit. One person even stated that this pie was "stab an old man in the throat good" meaning he'd be willing to do that to get a piece of it. I found it very rich and although a bit time consuming with all the beating, still very easy to make. I'm making another one today!

This pie is GREAT!!! Very smooth, just chocolaty enough, just sweet enough. I didn't have ANY trouble getting it to set. It was perfectly fluffy and smooth. I can't have sugar or gluten, so I made a crust out of soy flour and almonds and used Splenda for baking instead of sugar. It turned out wonderfully. I highly recommend this recipe!
