Tips:

  • For a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate in the filling.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt or buttermilk.
  • To make the pie ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • To make a gluten-free pie, use a gluten-free pie crust or make your own using a gluten-free flour.
  • For a vegan pie, use a vegan cream cheese and a vegan sour cream or yogurt.
