I was skeptical of adding the water but went ahead and followed the recipe as written. I did not use a deep dish pie shell and had some filling left over. I enjoyed every bite of that. My only suggestion is if you do make this positively lovely chocolate cream pie, please use a deep dish pie shell! Otherwise, you might have to do like I did and eat the extra. My pie is cooling as we speak and I am delighted with the results. Very happy to serve this for tonight's dessert!!

This was the first time making chocolate cream pie from scratch for me, but I did it and the family and friends loved it!!

I thought this was the best chocolate filling I have ever had. My family raved about it as I made it for Easter.

This is the most wonderful cream pie recipe I have found. I'm proud to say I didn't make it from a box! My children and husband love this pie and it never lasts long in our house!

This is the best chocolate cream pie I have ever had!!! I make it every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas and it's always the first one gone. This is one of my family's favorite pie.

This is a wonderful pie. I've used it every since it came out in 2000 and have had great results with it. Everyone loves it.
