Adding the sugar and salt at the end made it grainy and the exact opposite if silky. Plan on much longer than 5 minutes for the custard and the amount of filling is not enough for an 8 inch pie crust (The recipe calls for a 9 inch. There are better recipes out there. It is also too sweet.

Well, maybe my double boiler just wasn't working effectively, but it took me 20 minutes to get the custard to the thickness described. And when it was all done and I put it in the pie crust, it looked so wimpy, I wished I had doubled it! Other than that, it was pretty good.

Very easy to prepare, but my kids didn't like the coffee taste. Way too strong for them. Sometimes dessert recipes say add coffee to "enhance the chocolate flavor". Wish it would have called it "Coffee/Chocolate Silk pie". Very good. Would make again, with water and not coffee.

Excellent recipe! Very easy to make. I used semi-sweet baking chocolate, and found it to be a little too sweet, so I would definitely recommend using bittersweet chocolate. Otherwise, a wonderfully smooth and silky pie!

OMG!!!!! This is by far the best pie (of any kind I have ever made in my life. I replaced the water or coffee with kalua and added a Tbls of kalua to the whipped topping. I found that's it's easier to blend the egg mixture, for the custard, before adding to double boiler to keep the eggs from getting scrambled. Same goes for halendais sauce. Easy to make and absolutely heavenly. Very creamy and well worth every dime. Would rate higher than 5 stars I could.
