I didn't have any problems with the recipe, but I did make a few changes. I used a pre-made pie crust and I added a layer of whipped cream to the top of the pie.

The chocolate filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the crust was perfect.

I've made this pie several times and it always comes out perfect. The crust is flaky and the filling is smooth and velvety.
