I used a graham cracker crust instead and it was amazing!

I've made better chocolate pies. This one isn't the best. The chocolate doesn't melt well...and the pie gets that thick rubbery film on top. I suggest if you make this pie, to top it with meringue so the top stays moist... I'm going to go back to using my original recipe.

Pretty good and everyone raved about the taste. I added coffee flavoured whip cream which was a really nice balance. I was initially pretty worried that the chocolate wouldn't blend but it go there eventually.
