This pie is delicious, but it is very rich. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was a little too crumbly and the filling was a bit runny.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate pie, but this one is an exception. The filling is light and fluffy, and the crust is perfectly crispy.
