Very dark and rich pie. It was good, but it was not as creamy as I expected. If you have a chocolate craving this will work!

I made a 5 egg white merengue to go on top. Hubby said the pie was too chocolatey for him. I thought it was about perfect--even better after being refrigerated for awhile. It cut well, not too runny at all. Better than those pies made with cornstarch and flour.

Definitely not the best cream pie I have ever made. For the end result, it would be much easier to just make an instant pudding pie. I was expecting something that tasted like it was homemade, and the extra effort wasn't worth it for a run of the mill pie.

The taste was pretty good but it was very runny. I followed this recipe exactly and have no idea where I went wrong. I even made it two days before I was serving it and it never set. Oh well.

Well, I must confess I am the world's WORST baker. Seriously, even if I am cooking ready made cookie dough or a cake from the box, somehow I find a way to mess it up. That said, I was so delighted to find dessert recipe that turned out great, no matter how I butchered it. I did add an extra square of chocolate. I mean, what's not to like?

I made the pie today. Instead of using unsweetened chocolate, I used 2 ozs of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and I used the egg whites for meringue. My husband said it was the best pie that I ever made.

I made this for my uncle, I added an extra ounce of chocolate like someone suggested, and my uncle said it was the best pie he ever had.

My family did like this pie but it was more like a pudding than a creamy pie. I was not overly happy with it but if you like a pudding pie then you'll like this one. One alteration I did make was to change one cup of milk to one cup of half'n half. Will not make again... the search continues :(

I found this same recipe in my old Red and White Betty Crocker cookbook. I only made one change, instead of unsweetened chocolate squares I used 2 ounces of ghiradelli dark chocolate squares because that was what I had. They were serious dark chocolate though like 85% cacao, I kept the sugar the same figuring it would be almost like unsweetened chocolate. I topped this with a 3 egg white meringue. This is an awesome pie. Simple recipe and the chocolate filling is soooo good!

Absolutely decadent! I used skim milk and lite cool whip topping; other wise, I followed the recipe to a "T". This was my first attempt at chocolate cream pie and I wouldn't make it any other way. I didn't find the chocolate too dark or not sweet enough, as other reviewers suggested. Perfection in a pie shell!

This is an awesome recipe. I made it for the first time for Thanksgiving in a graham cracker crust. My dad went back for thirds, and he usually only does that with pumpkin pie. I'll definately make this one again; plus, it's super-easy.

I was disappointed in this pie. Mine came out too bitter, and had the taste and texture of fudge, not a cream pie. Sorry, but will not try again.

I made this recipe for a friend who loves chocolate pie. I used a ready made crust for this and it was very easy and came out delicious!! My friend really liked it and my family did as well. The chocolate was so tasty! We will definitely use this recipe again.

I love this pie. I cooked it last year for Thanksgiving at my in-law's house and I came back again looking for the recipe. It is delicious, thick, creamy, just perfect. Will definitely use this every year.

I prepared this recipe when we were visiting relatives. Everyone's eyes just closed when they put a bite of it in their mouths! The following week I made it once again, this time we didn't tell the children about it! Really REALLY good!

Absolutely delicious pie!! I have made it many times and want to tahank you for sharing the recipe. Tastes just like the old fashioned ones my Mom-in-Law made. Unfortunately, Mom never wrote much down, so I am stuck with lots of ingredient lists and not many instructions! Like anything else the quality of the ingredients determines the end results. I have made this pie with Ghiardelli Dark Bars, Valhrona and Lindt 83% Dark and Scharffenburger. Both individually and in varying amounts of each mixed. All with excellent results. They cost a bit more, but the results are worth it. I sometimes cut down on the sugar just a smidgen-1 tablespoon-- depending on what kind of chocolate I am using.

This was just OK, not a WOW dessert! Maybe with semi sweet chocolate. Not bad, but not great...
