This pie is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream to balance out the sweetness.

I've tried this recipe a few times, and it never turns out quite right. The crust is always too hard, and the filling is too runny.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a semisweet chocolate instead of a bittersweet chocolate if you don't like your desserts too sweet.
