MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
This was passed on to me by my sister, who I'm sure found it in a magazine, probably Southern Living, although I'm not sure where she got it. Cooking time includes the chilling time. Actual cooking time is about 35 to 45 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375°.
- 2. To prepare the crust, reserve 1 tablespoon crumbs for topping. Combine the remaining crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a bowl, stirring well. Stir in egg white and butter. Press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.
- 3. Bake at 375° for 9 minutes or until lightly toasted; cool completely on a wire rack.
- 4. To prepare filling, combine 1/2 cup sugar and the next 7 ingredients (through egg yolk) in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
- 5. Place the milk in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until milk reaches 180° or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Gradually add hot milk to egg mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return milk mixture to pan; cook over medium heat 10 minutes or until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until smooth.
- 6. Place pan in a large ice-filled bowl for 10 minutes or until mixture cools, stirring occasionally. Spoon filling into crust, and cover surface of filling with plastic wrap. Chill for 3 hours or until set; remove plastic wrap. Spread the whipped topping over filling; sprinkle with reserved cracker crumbs.

[email protected]This pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy, and the filling was grainy. I think I might have used the wrong kind of chocolate.

[email protected]I had some trouble with the crust, but the filling was delicious. I think I overmixed the dough, so it was a bit tough. But the filling was smooth and creamy, and the chocolate flavor was perfect.

[email protected]This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was rich and creamy. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I loved this pie. The filling was light and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor was subtle but still satisfying. I would definitely make this again.

[email protected]This pie was so easy to make, and it turned out beautifully. I used a store-bought graham cracker crust, which saved me a lot of time. The filling was smooth and creamy, and the chocolate flavor was perfect.

[email protected]I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and decadent. I love that it's not too sweet, so you can really taste the chocolate.
