Notes
- You can use a store-bought pie crust or make one from scratch. If you choose to make your own, keep it chilled until you are ready to use it. This helps keep the crust flaky and tender.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich chocolate taste. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before mixing.
- Be sure to beat the eggs well to make the filling smooth and creamy.
- After baking, let the pie cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling to set properly.
- For an extra touch, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
