CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE FROM GOURMET.COM
This a wonderful pie. I is chocolaty but not super sweet. I do alter this recipe a bit when I make it and I add a tablespoon of dark cocoa but it may be too much chocolate for some people. This pie makes me stop everything and just enjoy the bite whenever I eat it.
