Hi! I made this pie and it came out very dense. I used a 72% dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. Could that prevent it from being more like pudding? But still rave reviews!

Would this work with a nut or cookie crumb based crust? Was thinking of making a hazelnut or Oreo crust chocolate pie. Looks great, can’t wait to try!

In reply to Gina Grondin. Yes--it's for the blind baked pie crust! The rice or beans (or pie weights, really whatever works!) are just to weigh down the pie crust so it doesn't bubble up while blind baking!

In reply to Caycee.

Hi Caycee! The espresso powder is just ground espresso–I think they call it espresso baking powder because it’s specifically formulated for baked goods, but there is no actual baking powder in it! I can totally see your confusion though 🙂 If you don’t have espresso powder you can just omit it!

Can I substitute regular baking powder for the espresso baking powder?

What should I do if no stores around me carry chocolate extract & if I order some it won’t arrive in time? Is there a substitute I can use?

perfect chocolate cream pie! i was so worried about adding the eggs in to the melted chocolate.. but i just added them while slowly mixing & everything turned out great. i did add about 6 min of cooking time– until the pie was puffy and just beginning to crack, exactly as noted in the recipe 🙂 thank you sarah!
