Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pie will taste. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
- Make sure your cream is cold. Cold cream will whip up better and hold its shape longer.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become stiff and grainy.
- Chill the pie before serving. This will help the pie set properly.
- Garnish the pie with chocolate shavings or whipped cream. This will make the pie look more festive.
