Rich and chocolaty, a truly sinful pie! Chocolate fans will love it! Garnish each slice with whipped topping.
I will use this recipe in place of my old standby, which is a blue-ribbon winner. I followed the directions exactly and it came out perfectly. We'll see how the county fair judges like it this year. Please note: one reviewer suggested to add 3 times more chocolate, add more cornstarch, and use whites instead of yolks. If you want a disaster on your hands, go ahead and take that advice!
Read MoreGood flavor, but not suited for pie because it's a bit loose. Backed off the sugar and did 1 1/8 cup, plenty sweet as it is with the choco. chips. Everything else followed exactly --and nope, the Saran Wrap doesn't stick, cool, huh? Pie set for 24 hours in the fridge, but still came out loose (we even used whole milk). Consistency of thick pudding -- excellent tasting pudding, mind you, but not quite thick enough to truly be a great cream pie. We'd cut a slice, put it on a plate, and it'd would blob into a gooey puddle that looked like pudding as soon as your fork hit it. Big no no for a pie. I may try this again and add a little more corn starch to see if that firms things up. I'm not a fan of pudding pies - pudding is good, just not in a pie shell. If you dig instant pudding pies, are content with that sort of gooey consistency and are looking to get a bit fancier than ripping open a box and dumping some milk in, you may really dig this recipe. If you're not a pudding pie type, this probably won't be for you. If you're just looking for a great, rich pudding, this is a great recipe, sans the pie shell!

This pie came out great - It was wonderfully chocolaty! I made it for my husbands B-day and he loved it. I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect as is and I even live in high altitude. I didn't have any problems with it setting or anything else. The step where you mix the egg yolks separately in a bow is necessary so that the eggs don't cook when you add them to the hot chocolate mixture, if they cook as you add them then you will have lumps of egg yolks in your filling. Having them in a bowl and adding some of the chocolate mixture to them slowly takes the temp down a bit so this doesn’t happen.
For those of you who have a gritty result, I'd say it's not the kind of milk you're using (I used whole) but perhaps you're not dissolving the sugar/milk mixture long enough, or melting the chocolate thoroughly. I whisked this recipe basically constantly and it came out with a lovely texture. It tastes like homemade chocolate pudding. Very good and pretty simple.

This is a great base recipe, but it needs a couple changes in order to make it perfect. First of all, DO NOT use chocolate chips. Chocolate chips contain ingredients that can cause items to be soft-set. Instead, I substituted 6 oz. semi sweet chocolate and then the 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate already called for in the recipe. I suggest using whole milk simply because it will yield the best results, but I'm sure you could sub. lower fat milk and it turn out just fine. I also used a chocolate graham cracker crust instead of the normal pie crust. Once your milk/chocolate mixture gets warm, temper it into your eggs. This essentially means to whisk constantly to ensure the eggs don't curdle. Add that mixture back to the pot, and whisk constantly until it boils. You want it to boil for a good minute and make sure you whisk during that minute. Pour into a pie shell, cover with plastic wrap and chill. For those who complained about it being lumpy, it could be you didn't temper the eggs correctly and you're tasting pieces of egg. If it's grainy, you likely didn't cook it long enough and you're still tasting the cornstarch. I'm sure using a store-brand chocolate chip can also yield lumpy results because they just don't melt the way toll house does.
This chocolate pie is evil on a plate, it is sooooooo sooooooo yummy. My husband made Christmas eve and had extra pudding in a bowl saved for mwa and I put whipped cream on and yes it is sinful. It would even be GREAT served in fancy glasses w/ whipped cream if you don't have pie shell, I can't decide how I liked it better. Don't change this recipe, why mess with perfection. For pie give plenty of time to set up.
o.k. so this pie turned out super awesome! It totally wasn't THAT hard, and so worth it even if it was! It was so rich and chocolaty compared to the pudding versions. At the last minute before serving, I smothered the top with fresh whipping cream, then I garnished it with chocolate curls that I made with a vegetable peeler. YUM
This must be a DEEP DISH pie shell...or use 2 regular pie shells. I poured the excess filling into dessert cups, and used Meringue II from this site to top the pie. ONE cup of sugar was perfect, and made the perfect chocolatey richness. 5 stars if the sugar were reduced.
The chocolate is so rich it will make your teeth ache! I used 2% milk but next time I make this I'm going to use either whole milk or maybe half and half as the pie wasn't creamy enough for me. I would certainly be pleased to offer this to guests.
This is a WONDERFUL recipe! Very chocolatey & delicious. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was the only pie that was completely devoured. I will definitely make this one again.
My mother's long lost recipe!!! My mother always made the best chocolate pies for the holidays. She passed away 14 years ago, and I have been searching high and low for something that would come even close. When I ate the first bite of this...I almost wept. It's my mother's pie. I can't believe it. I am so thankful to Corwynn Darkholme for posting this recipe. I am thankful to all those that tried it before me, and rated it the way they did. I was careful to use the name brands that my mother always used in her kitchen....and this Christmas we will be sharing her pies again with the whole family. By the way, my mother got her recipe from my great grandmother....so it's truly a bitter sweet sense memory treat! If you love chocolate...DO NOT PASS THIS ONE UP!!!
Great - IF you really want a deep, dark chocolate pudding. I just made it as a pudding, instaed of as a filling. It set up nicely and tastes rich and delicious. I'll definately use this one again.
I loved this recipe!!! it came out great and was a very quick and easy recipe! The only thing i did different was i changed the 3 cups of milk to 1 1/2 cups D or Whole milk and 1 cup Heavy whipping cream. It was so rich and definately favored by my family and coworkers!
If you like chocolate, you owe it to yourself to try this recipe! I have made it twice and received rave reviews both times. The first time, I used a traditional homemade crust. For this years' Thanksgiving, I had my stepdaughter pick up a crust, expecting a graham cracker one, and she came home with a chocolate one. Either way, this is one delicious dessert. Easy, quick, chocolate and delicious. What more could you want?
This recipe did not turn out well for me. The filling was too runny and actually tasted gritty. Very dark flavor, as well. Won't make again.
Excellent! The texture of a cream pie with the taste of a fudge pie. I added a meringue for extra decadence. Thanks for the recipe.
I used Ghiradelli Double Chocolate instead of the chocolate chips! Very Good pie. My husbands favorite now!
i gave this pie 5 stars for the taste. it is sinfully good. i get requests for it for every family event. but it is very difficult and time consuming to make. my family knows that it has to be a VERY special occasion for me to make it. i ususally need someone to help me cook it which bothers me because i like to be the only one that sees my dishes until they are ready to eat. BUT, the finished product is definatly worth the trouble.
VERY good! I didn't have the unsweetened chocolate squares. Instead, I substituted 6 tablespoons of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder, which I added to the sugar mixture and 2 tablespoons of butter, which I added when it was time to add the vanilla. I set aside 1 cup of the milk and stirred the egg yolks into that and then stirred the eggs mix into the milk and sugar mixture. No lumps of scrambled eggs this way. For those of you who don't like dark chocolate, you can substitute milk chocolate morsels instead, which are much sweeter. The pie was divine and will be my go-to chocolate pie recipe from now on!
WOW this was absolutely amazing. I followed the filling instructions to the letter and it came out brilliantly. I used the Tiramisu Cheesecake crust from this site and it went brilliantly. I had some crust left over so I mixed it with some coconut essence, grated coconut, some sweetened cocoa powder and some cinammon and sprinkled it on top of the set pie. It was heaven. One thing I noticed was that the pie's flavour was a lot cooler- sort of less intense - after it was chilled overnight. However my family loved it either way. The consistency was perfect. If anyone's didn't set I would say they didn't cook it for enough, or didnt follow the instructions properly. Don't skip the egg step! Absolutely perfect!
I followed the recipe exactly as written and this was delicious. Hint: when baking the pie crust, I lined it with aluminum foil, them filled it with coins from my change jar. I don't have pastry weights, but those also work. It cooked the crust perfectly.
The people who got bad results cooking this pie just don't know what they are doing and didn't follow the recipe. This is a wonderfully thick, dense, rich pie that is smooth as silk. It is any chocolate lover's fantasy dessert. It is a annual favorite requested by all. I serve it with freshly whipped heavy cream lightly sweetened (just use a hand mixer) and it knocks it out of the park. The only change I have is not to press the plastic into the chocolate. I let it cool and then wrap the pie tin keeping the plastic off of the filling---put into the refrigerator.
I LOVED this recipe. I baked 5 different pies for Thanksgiving and this was the only one that was completely gone. I got rave reviews from my family. Definitely a keeper!
YUM! this was delicious. I made it exactly according to the recipe and it is definitely my new favorite.
This is THE BEST chocolate cream pie recipe on this site that I've tried. I've tried several of the higher rated ones, and I didn't really like them -- I think I don't like ones that use flour. I used just 1 cup of sugar and it set up fine (I'm not sure why it didn't set up for some people, unless they just didn't cook it right). Next time I'll increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups, and I think 1 1/2 cups as instructed is probably perfect for most people -- I tend to like things less sweet. This is extremely RICH so I would either make a meringue with the leftover whites next time or make homemade whipped cream as Cool Whip is a little too rich a topping for this too :) Thank you, Corwynn Darkholme, for my family's new favorite chocolate pie! (P.S. The filling DOES fit in 1 deep dish crust, but it mounds up very high and there's no way you're putting a meringue or decorative whipped cream topping over it and then fitting it in a pie carrier. The Cool Whip on mine was smashed against the top of my pie carrier -- next time I'll put this filling in 2 pies!)
The first homemade chocolate pie I've tried that didn't taste like plastic. Amazing flavor.
My search for the perfect chocolate pie is finally over! This is so good. The second time I made this I combined it with another recipe "Chocolate Banana Pie" I am not a fan of boxed pudding and this was the perfect answer. I needed 2 pies and combining it with the other pie recipe, it was more than enough for 2 pies. I followed the other recipe but used the filling for this pie instead of boxed pudding mix. I also didn't add the layer of whipped topping until I was ready to serve the pies. Chocolate curls and a sprinkling of chopped pecans on top of the whip cream made for a beautiful presentation. Thank you for a great recipe!
I made this for Christmas lunch with my family, and they would not stop talking about it. It was rich, and super yummy. I was expecting to mess it up or for it to be strange, but it was PERFECT! I put a meringue from Alton Brown on the top, and my Pappaw used his small welding torch to lightly crisp the tips of the meringue. You can find the recipe for it here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/lemon-meringue-pie-recipe/index.html I will definitely make this again!
I tested this recipe and personally I didn't like it - it was too chocolatey(dark bittersweet taste). I don't like that taste but my family really enjoyed it.
Absolutely delicious! I added crushed oreos to the top of the cool whip - pie was gone. Thanks!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. I used squares of semi-sweet chocolate instead of chips and it worked out fine.
The pie is rich and chocolaty, but I think it is too much so. Some people liked it, but I just felt it was too overwhelming chocolate. To say the least I was disappointed, it was supposed to be a special pie for my dad. I would have given it fewer stars, but felt this was more a personal dislike not the recipes fault. Thank goodness the coconut cream recipe I got from allrecipes was great.
this is awesome if you really like chocolate. much better than the kind that are just pudding in a crust.
As a true chocoholic, I found this pie to be quite tasty; however, my husband and mother thought it was a little too strong. I topped it with a meringue and used 2% milk, but I thought it set a little too soft. I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but I also noticed that the unsweetened chocolate took quite a while to melt. So long that I was afraid I would have little chocolate pieces in the pie even though I chopped it well. Despite this, I thought the taste was great, and I will probably make it again.
amazing. used homemade graham cracker crust with touch of cinnamon. cut down sugar to 1&1/4 cups. increased corn starch to 4 generous tablespoons. used 2% milk with 1/4cup half and half. topped with fresh homemade whipped cream sweetened with white sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon
This pie was absolutely perfect. I had never made chocolate cream pie from scratch before and had been dying to try this. I had no problem with consistency or set up; the only reviewer suggestion I used was to add the white of one of the eggs, but I don't think it made any difference. This is a WONDERFUL recipe. Thanks so much.
most of my family really liked this recipe, and even though it's not as sweet as other chocate recipes, it really tastes great, and is kind of one of those 'just right' combinations.
Okay, we have 5 girls in this family. Need I say this is a KEEPER!!! Rich, and oh so SINFUL! I always make this at the holidays, with Valentine's Day the finale. If you love chocolate, you WON'T be disappointed!!!
I used a chocolate pie shell, and served with whipped cream, very chocolatey, everyone loved it!!
This is so fine. It does need the Whipped Cream to soften the rich taste of chocolate. Thanks
I absolutely LOVE this pie, and my family requests it for every gathering. I use a homemade shortbread cookie crust, and it's simply delicious. I also use 3/4 cup of milk chocolate and 2 ounces of dark chocolate, since my family prefers milk to dark. This pie is PERFECT.
Thank You So Much! My mother passed away over twenty years ago and never taught me how she made her wonderful chocolate pie. I have been missing it and looking for a similar recipe for a long time. This is the closest yet. She used the egg whites to make a meringue, (just like the ones on a lemon meringue pie) and the golden peaks of meringue takes the recipe from 'super yummy' to 'out of this world yummy' for me.
This is a really really really sweet pie. The whipped cream actually is needed to offset the sweetness of the pie. Good but probably won't make again.
This is a basic chocolate cream pie recipe and it's very good. As is this is just barely chocolatey as I had to add about 3 times more chocolate (chips and cocoa powder) to make this chocolaty. I also needed to add more cornstarch as it was clear that the mixture would not be solid enough. I did not use egg yolk, but instead whites as I never use yolks and everythign came out fine. I also assume that the mixing the eggs in a separate bowl is a uselss step and one extra dish not needed so I will skip that step next time to see. I made a grham cracker peacan crust, garnished pie w/ banana, chocolate shavings, chocolate & regualr whipped cream and caramel. Was sinfully to die for!
ABSOULTLY AWESOME! I will Never make a boxed chocolate pie again! We are a Navy Family living overseas and I have not been able to get Jello Cook and Serve Pudding for a year so finally I decided to do it the old fashion way! YUMMMY! This is AWESOME! THANKS!
This pie was not good. It was far too sweet and not rich in the way I prefer. I am not sure how else to describe it except to say that the two pies I made for Christmas were an unfortunate end to an otherwise delicious dinner.
Everyone loves this chocolate pie! The texture did turn out gritty the first 2 times I made it. Then I switched to whole milk and it was smooth. The recipe should say whole milk.
Oh my goodness, the best EVER !!! Easy to make and has the best chocolate flavor. Will use this filling in other desserts as well.
WoW! This is incedibly rich and delicious! I used 2 1/2 cups milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream. It made the filling a tad richer and creamier. I also replaced the chocolate with 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips and 2 1/2 ounces of a dark chocolate candy bar because that is what I had on hand - it turned out super tasty!
My family loved this pie. When I finished cooking the chocolate and tasted it I didn't think it was that good but after chilling it was delicious. We did scoop Cool whip on top and that was great.
I was not very fond of the flavor. I think it was the addition of vanilla extract. I also did not find it to be sweet enough. However, it was creamy, thick and SUPER chocolate!
I have made this recipe many times, and it always turns out great. I've made it in a pastry crust, a graham cracker crust, and just as pudding...they all turn out wonderfully. I get rave reviews everytime I make this pie for guests. It is my standby recipe.
Pretty good! I made this for my dad who insists on from scratch instead of a pudding mix (and he can always tell the difference!) and this passed the test--he said it was the best he has had in years!
very chocolaty,but not the pudding -like texture I was looking for. Still good with from scratch whip cream.
This pie is absolutely divine! Very rich and flavorable! I plan to add this recipe to our family favorites file.
I have been wanting to make a homemade chocolate pie for some time now and thought this was the recipe. I followed it exactly and it was awful. I was surprised because most of the recipes I use from this site are great. I was disappointed with this one. First off, it didn't set at all. When I cut into it, it oozed all over and it looked terrible. Second, it had way too much vanilla. I had a feeling when I was adding it that it was going to be too much and I was right. I guess I will have to continue my search for a good chocolate pie recipe. Sorry.
I thought this was great, and my sister loved it, too. I think it makes a big difference when you use homemade pie crust. I followed the directions exactly, and it set beautifully. I had too much pie filling for the crust, so I let it set in a bowl, and then served that with raspberries, vanilla yogurt and granola, and even that was a hit!
Everyone really enjoyed this pie. The only thing that kept it from bein a 5 is the fact that I had to add cornstarch to firm up the filling. As is it was a bit on the runny side.
This was so good...tasted like a brownie!!! Easy to make and the taste is outstanding. Rich & creamy...wish I could've ate more than one piece!
The chocolate is SO rich, this is incredible! I am not a pie fan but this is a spectacular recipe, thanks!
i never thought i'd say this..this pie is TOO chocolatey. my sister said she could actually feel it changing her brain chemistry.
Awesome!
I went on a mission to find the BEST chocolate pie...and I found it!!!!! Rich and delicious. My family and I love it. I put it in a graham cracker crust for the perfect combination.
after reading reviews saying was too sweet - i used bitter dark choc chips instead of the semisweet chips - i followed rest of recipe to the letter and this was the BEST pie ever! it set wonderfully and i can't even decribe how creamy and delish it was! great recipe! i will use again and again!
as with anything in cooking you can vary the recipe to change the flavor or add a little more pizzazz. But, for the basic, no-fail chocolate pie this is the one. I have been using this recipe for the last couple of years at Thanksgiving and Christmas and one is never enough, even if it is just my wife and kids. It uses cornstarch so as directed, you must bring it to a boil for it to set up properly. Thank you for this recipe. My wife and 4 daughters thank you as well. P.S. on a personal note... Adding some fresh chopped mint leaves is a killer touch for those who like chocolate mint flavors.
Delicious! I make chocolate pies for my youngest son (18) regularly and this is my new recipe. Made a graham cracker crust for the pie (recipe from this site). I used 60% chocolate chips. The pie was perfect.
NOTE TO NEW COOKS: I have never made a homemade cream pie like this before, but take it from me, when it says add things gradually, add them GRADUALLY! Also, use whole milk....I used 1% and didn't do things gradually, so my pie ended up like soup. I rated this a 4 because I could tell that if I'd done it correctly, it would have been great. Wonderful chocolate flavor! I had chocolate chips, but I didn't have unsweetened squares; I only had semi-sweet squares, so I winged it and guessed on reducing the sugar. I think I used about a cup of sugar instead of 1.5 cups, especially after reading a couple of reviews that said it was too sweet in the first place. I can imagine that homemade whipped cream would have made it perfect, too.
I really liked this recipe. The filling set very well and tasted great. I shortened the steps by adding the egg yolks to the milk and whisking them together before adding them into the pot. This worked out fine seeing how I did this technique in a different custard pie. Just don't stop moving it around. Other than that I didn't change a thing and I received rave reviews!
Made this pie for Thanksgiving, increasing the amount of corn starch a bit. It came out fantastic!!! Easily the best chocolate pie I have made!
Enjoyed but too sweet for me. I beat the whites & folded in & it came out nice. Thank you.
I read alot of the reviews prior to making this pie and I have to say, I had no problems whatsoever. I followed the recipe to a T minus one small fact: some people mentioned the pie was very sweet so I cut the sugar to 1 cup. The pie set up perfectly and was not runny at all. Made sure to cook it till it was thick before removing from heat. I used a graham crust and topped with homemade whipped cream. It was really delicious. Probably would have been just fine with the additional sugar. First chocolate cream pie I ever made and was very pleased.
always get a lot compliments on this recipe. i havn't mastered pie crust, so i use a oreo pie crust. i do as suggested and use whipped cream i beat myself as a topping and that is the special touch.
this pie was delicious! The filling is very chocolatey and sweet. best chocolate pie my mom has ever had!
I made this pie for my birthday this week. I love chocolate any way, so this pie hit the spot! After being chilled throughly, it cut perfectly. It looked like the pie in the picture. I topped it with canned whipped cream. I may try adding meringue next time. It does have a ton of sugar and I will only make it for special occasions, but I will make it again.
This pie is so rich no one could eat a whole piece, I don't know how to lighten it up. Had excellent taste, but was like eating a wedge of fudge.
This is a great recipe, but if you make it, be sure after you add the eggs, to bring it back up to a boil, and once it is boiling, let it bubble for a full minute or even maybe two minutes. There is an enzyme in eggs that needs to be killed by the heat. The enzyme liquefies protein coagulation, so if you do not kill it with the boiling, your pudding will liquefy after it thickens.
This is an incredible pie! I did sub half the milk for heavy whipping cream. I added 5 medium size marshmallows while cooking and this pie stood at attention. I topped it off by using a chocolate pie crust. This will be a holiday favorite.
Very good and simple to make. I didn't change a thing and it came out Perfect!!!
This was amazing and very easy to make! Followed the recipe exactly as written and family loved it! I was afraid I had let boil too long after mixing in the yolks as it thickened quickly, but it was perfect. Refrigerated overnight and then served with whipped topping with mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top. Will definitely make again soon! Thank you!
It was good, and not difficult. Company enjoyed it, and the family enjoyed the leftovers. The crust quality will also influence the taste of the pie, so keep that in mind.
Absolutely delish, and, clearly, since myself was involved in the making of it, it's fool-proof! My husband wanted a chocolate pie for Thanksgiving, and was surprised when I actually made this one from scratch instead of simply putting pudding in a pie-shell. I used milk-chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, and the end result was a pie that had you groaning "I SOOO full" after one slice . . . even as you reached for another. Milk chocolate chips makes for a much richer tasting pie, and it might not be for everybody that way, so caveat emptor. I used a Pillsbury Pie Shell, because I have no luck with pastry, and it went perfectly with it -- very airy and flakey. Thanks a ton for submitting this fun and easy recipe that only LOOKS hard to make.
I was in a hurry and looking for a good chocolate pie recipe last night. This looked like the one my mother used to make that everyone in the family loves. If it's not, it runs a close second! Wow, it's rich, creamy and very good. I only had an 8" pie shell, so the remaining filling went into some pudding dishes (2). I usually don't have the exact ingrediets called for in some of these recipes and I substiute what I have instead. This time, I got to follow the recipe exactly and it was truely a good pie! I will keep this recipe and use it for the holidays! Thank you!
Wow-have never written a review before, but this was so good I had to say it.... and it was oh so easy. It was so rich and creamy. Top it off with some chopped nuts and drizzle with some caramel to really bring it over the top. Very very rich though, a little slice will do!
Most amazing chocolate pie I've ever made and it stood up beautifully when sliced!!! Added some chocolate chips to the crust when it was hot and spread them around to keep the crust from getting soggy. Can't wait to make it again!!!
As another reviewer said, this makes stunning pudding. But its not a pie filling. I was going to ignore the slightly loose texture, but even my fiance (who loves the taste of the pie filling) commented on it being just a bit to loose. I love love love the taste of the filling (I know some have mentioned it being to sweet, but I didn't find that to be the case, personal preference for sure)so I wont be changing anything to do with flavor. I will try adding a bit more cornstarch to see if that fixes the firmness issue and will report back if it does!
This was amazing. I did come out similar to a pudding pie, but the filling is so much better....very much worth the extra effort!
I've never had success making cream pies, with this recipe I finally found success! I will always use this recipe to make my family's fav chocolate pie. Outstanding!
This pie was absolutely delicious! It has a very rich, dark chocolate flavor which I love. The consistency was perfect-- it takes a bit of time heating and stirring, but it is worth it. I made it with a graham cracker crust instead of the pastry crust and it turned out beautifully.
Wow, yum! I didn't have unsweetened chocolate, so used semi-sweet and decreased the sugar to one cup. I used a chocolate cookie crust, just to add more chocolate. I also strained the mixture before pouring into the pie crust. An excellent Valentine's Day dessert!
