PHENOMENAL. My husband loves his mom's version, but I made this one for his birthday and it blew hers away ;-).

This was my first chocolate pie. I thought it was very easy to prepare. I cooked the filling till it was almost like frosting. The sweetness was perfect, however I would cook the filling a little less then I did unless you like it more like fudge. I used whipped cream instead of Meringue, but that's just me.

I tried stirring with a wooden spoon but that didn't seem to work at all. I switched to a flat silicone wisk and that worked beautifully. It took about 5 min. for it to cook and thicken. Next time I will let the pie sit in the fridge for a hour or more before adding the meringue, so that it firms up a bit. I've used my grandmother's recipe forever, and this beats it! It is fabulous!

By far the best chocolate pie I have ever tasted! Course you have to let it cool off before cutting...LOL I couldn't! If your making a deep dish you need to add more ingredients. Well worth making and will time after time.

Perhaps it was my mistake on the merengue, but the pie seemed overly sweet and the texture wasn't meltable in the mouth. It was fun to make though. Not a big hit at the T-giving dinner.

This recipe is woefully incomplete. I believe a step is missing, because the merengue browned WAY before the filling was set. It also doesn't say how long it's supposed to cool or whether it's supposed to be chilled.

This was really great!! It was the first pie that I had ever made from scratch, and it turned out perfect. It had that old school chocolate pie taste that I had been longing for. Great recipe!!

Chocolate pie has always been my kryptonite, until I found this recipe. Now my chocolate pies come out as good as my grandma's use to. I've never been happier with a recipe. This is one I will keep forever.

I really liked this. The filling was a little sweet IMO, but all in all a great recipe and easy, too. I thought it "finally" set once it hit the fridge overnight, and was even thicker on day two (small household), but I didn't think it was thick enough after being made and cooled on a wire rack. It's a plan ahead deal. I have always LOVED chocolate pie and this was my first attempt at making it. I would use this recipe again and would also still continue to try others. Thanks so much for sharing!
