To make this super easy, I doubled the chocolate and made it with Cool Whip instead of whipping the cream. I made mine with an Oreo crust, my family whoofed it down!! I should have made 2 for thanksgiving, it went faster than the pumpkin pie and for my family...that says alot!!

Thanks for sharing! Everyone LOVED this recipe. It was a bit time consuming but well worth it. Be sure to double the recipe.

This pie is absolutely delicious! The filling is quick and easy to make and tastes like whipped chocolate ice cream. Definitely a keeper!

This recipe was amazing! I doubled the filling like everyone said & glad I did. I also made whip cream for the top & added chocolate shavings. It tasted like a pie you'd find at a nice bakery - so good! Very easy to prepare also. My husband was impressed! I will definitely be bringing this to Christmas to share!

This is my husband's favorite pie, however, I double the filling and put it in my deep dish pie pan. I also put whipped cream on top in dollops at the edge. We love it and so does everyone else. I have never had anyone not love it, and I make a lot of pies!

Made this at Easter and everyone loved it. I made a triple recipe and had enough for two 9-inch pies with a wee bit left over in a dessert dish. (Note: just the filling makes a nice dessert as well.)Was trying to get the same flavour as the Baker's Square version but theirs has a sort of "bite" to it and we can't figure out what it is. This version is denser and creamier, but I miss the bite...

This was incredible!!! Although the filling is dense it is still a light dessert; not too sweet, not too rich, a good chocolate flavor (not intense but very good), extremely smooth and melts in your mouth. (I used a very scant measure of sugar.) MUST double the recipe to have enough filling, unless you are making a very small pie. This is my new "go to" recipe, especially for company. Easy and excellent!

very good recipe, I did double the recipe and used a 9 inch crust. I like for the pie to be full to the top. The pie is not a death by chocolate pie. Just the right amount of chocolate that you will enjoy a full piece.

It was time consuming getting the egg-sugar mixture to 160F but this filling was well worth the work. Delicious. I doubled the filling recipe for a 9-in pie and it was perfect.
