TRIPLE-LAYER PUMPKIN-CHOCOLATE PIE

• Return to the oven, placing the pie so that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces the front; bake 35-40 minutes or until the pumpkin layer is set (When done, the perimeter of the filling will have puffed some but not so much that it develops large cracks).
• Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool until the filling settles down and flattens--about 30-45 minutes.

• Immediately shake and tilt the pie to cover it with the topping.
• Return the pie to the rack and let cool completely.
• Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Note--the chocolate layer is partially prebaked to maintain its integrity when the plain pumpkin layer is added; the prebaking firms up the chocolate and the short cool down allows a slight skin to form, which helps keep the pumpkin layer from sinking into the chocolate.To enhance the breakdown between layers, you might want to sprinkle a fairly dense layer of chopped walnuts or pecans over the chocolate as soon as the pie comes out of the oven, pressing them gently to embed them in the chocolate.
