Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a combination of unsweetened and semisweet chocolate in the filling.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the butter and chocolate by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they incorporate smoothly into the filling.
  • To make the pie ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the pie overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.
  • For a creamier filling, use a combination of heavy cream and milk. You can also use all heavy cream, but it will be richer and more decadent.
  • To make the pie gluten-free, use a gluten-free pie crust or make your own using a gluten-free flour blend.
