The crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste. I would recommend using a different recipe for the crust.

I found the filling to be a bit too thick. I would recommend using a little less chocolate or adding some milk to thin it out.

I was a bit skeptical about the unbaked crust, but it worked out perfectly. The pie held together well and the crust was flaky and delicious.

This pie is the perfect combination of creamy, chocolatey, and fluffy. The crust is the perfect complement to the filling, and the overall flavor is simply divine.
