Chocolate Cream Pie

From EatingWell: November/December 2012

Chocolate cream pie isn’t just a diner special—it’s the perfect dessert for any celebration. We love the added flair of chocolate curls on top, but a pretty dollop of whipped cream on each piece would look just as elegant.

Soupy; dissappointed

Just like the other reviews I followed the directions exactly and it came out horrible. The directions about cooking the egg mixture was unclear and although I knew it didn't look right I didnt want to mess up the directions so I followed it exactly and when I woke up in the morning the cake was like soup. I'm so dissappointed because I was looking forward to cooking this pie and now I not only wasted my time but ingredients as well. Live and learn I guess.

Pros: Sounds and looks good

Pie never firmed up.

The instructions were unclear about how to long to cook the filling. I probably cooked it at least 15-20 minutes, and refrigerated overnight. The pie also was soupy in the morning, just like the other reviewer. I double-checked my measurements and followed the recipe exactly.

had to throw the whole thing away

I followed all directions and refrigerated overnight, and in the morning the pie was soup. I thought it was very unclear about how long to stir the filling while cooking. There were bubbles around the edges during the whole process; not sure how long till it was supposed to be done.

Pros: SOUNDED good and easy!

My pie did the same thing,

My pie did the same thing, and I felt I cooked the filling quite awhile. Refrigerated overnight and had to throw it all away.

I have to agree with you. I love all EatingWell recipes, but this is not looking like it will turn out. I still have some cooling time left..

I am sorry to read that your

I am sorry to read that your pie did not work and sorry that the instructions were not clear enough. The filling will also thicken visually as the bubbles appear around the edges; the amount of time it takes to get to this stage varies a lot depending on your stove and the temperature of your mixture. The bubbles should look more like it's boiling around the edges rather than just a little frothy from stirring the mixture; the mixture will be steaming and should start to feel thick as you stir.

I hope you give it another try and just go a little longer on the filling. We've had great feedback from other readers and think you will fall in love with how easy this recipe is with just one more try. Again, sorry to disappoint and thank you so much for letting us know about your experience.

Happy Baking,

Awesome!

This pie is easy to make and special enough for company during the holidays. It's reminiscent of a French Silk Pie and I'm the hero for actually making it.

Pros: Easy and delicious.
