this has a wonderful flavor - though the first time i tried it, it wouldn't set and i just ended up with a chocolate pudding. The second time i tried it, i increased it to 4 tablespoons of corn starch and that solved the problem. I don't know if that's an altitude adjustment (i live over a mile above sea level) or if it's just a general improvement The other adjustment i would recommend makes the pie filling absolutely heavenly. I reduced the amount of milk to 2 3/4 cups and add 1/4 cup of Bailey's Irish Cream. That made this pie the best cream pie i have ever had.

This recipe took quite awhile to prepare as the time it took to come to a boil was about 30 minutes. This is 30 min. of constant stirring. The pie was not as firm as I like and it was a little too bitter. I may try it again with less cocoa in it. The kids didn't care for it much.

I used 4 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch, an extra egg yoke, 2 cups cream and one cup of milk. It turned out fabulous. I also added 1 tablespoon of extra strong coffee to bring out the chocolate flavor. This recipe takes a while but the flavor is so much better than boxed. I will be using this whenever I want to prepare something extra special for my family.

I made this today for our Thanksgiving dinner as an alternative for those that don't like pumpkin pie and everyone loved it. First chocolate cream pie that I've ever made from scratch and I couldn't be happier with the results! I used 4 TBSP of cornstarch—and whole milk [if that makes a difference]. I also let it cook a few minutes longer, rather than removing it from the heat as soon as it started boiling. Served it in a chocolate cookie crust with whipped topping.

ABSOLUTLY wonderful! I've made many pies, but never a chocolate cream, and I'm so glad I came across this recipe. I used 4 generous tablespoons of cornstarch and it thickened up nicely. I tried using a rubber spatula but that seem to create clumps, so I found that a wire wisk worked much better. Be sure to keep stirring! Also, instead of a regular pie crust, I used a store-bought chocolate graham cracker crust. I was practically licking the pot clean by the time I was done cooking. Add some whipped cream and chocolate curls and I know I'm going to have one happy father-in-law tomorrow! Thanks for this recipe!

I finally found a chocolate cream pie recipe that uses cocoa instead of baker's chocolate! This is a delicious pie. I was concerned after reading another review of this recipe, but I tried it anyway and am glad I did. It only took 15 minutes to cook on my stove, set up beautifully, and tastes great!
