Foolproof and Delicious! This pie is perfect for anyone who has pie crust fear or is looking for something easy and yet still a "wow" item. I have made this many times and done things like substituted fruits, messed up portions and it still comes out wonderful! I have even passed it along to friends of mine that are serious pastry chefs(in high end restaurants in chicago!)

Comes out perfectly every time. I find that it is a great "base" recipe and very forgiving. I often omit the rum and just go with super dark dark chocolate (60% and higher) it is enough intensity. Also, I have used this as a base for truffle centers. I find that if I leave herbs to steep in the cream or even boil them in it, a very delicious and special desert can be made - people will never expect it from the home cook! I have had wonderful success with lavender and rosemary.
