This one's for you Em. This recipe seemed so simple that I figured it had to be delicious, especially since it was touted as coming from a true Southern cook. Not so. It tastes like chocolate eggs and is by no means "fudgy" as the recipe intro describes it. I'm thinking my oven, which I suspect is on a slow, but accelerating, decline, overcooked this one. I pulled it out 10 min earlier than the recipe called for and it looked a little overdone already. I also replaced the sugar with Splenda, so maybe this Southern pie refused to be made healthier...
Even with the possibility of being overcooked, there was still a lack of chocolate flavor to the pie. I'm going to have another go at this one sometime in the future and add some ganache to the filling to really increase both the chocolate flavor and the fudgy texture. Em, come get the rest of this pie and see if you still think chocolate pie is the best.
