    Delicious! I used a regular butter pie crust because I didn't have cookies. I also used 5oz Ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate, and folded about 1/2 the whipped cream [vs 1/4] into the chocolate pie filling to make it lighter. It was so light and delicious! Made homemade buttermilk and not sour at all! Lastly I added 2 sliced bananas to the bottom of the pie before adding the filling. Not necessary, but really yummy for sure. With that and the whipped cream, it was like a fluffy banana split. Despite my changes, this would be an absolutely fantastic pie following the recipe exactly. I searched the net for a while before finding this one and so glad I did! Thanks Emeril!

    It was a big hit! I used a traditional pastry crust like my grandma did. I didn't have buttermilk. I substituted more cream. I also used 1/2 milk chocolate and 1/2 dark (60% cocoa. This is definitely a keeper.

    I love almost everything that Emeril does but this pie has a sour taste because of the buttermilk. Next time I would switch the buttermilk to milk. I also don't like chocolate yogurt.

    I read a lot of the reviews before I made this recipe and since 4 oz chocolate seemed like a small amount, I added one more. I really liked this recipe. It was very chocolaty without being cloyingly sweet. I think the buttermilk (which was a surprising ingredient to me added a nice tang and cut down on potential over-sweetness.

    I thought is was even better the second day.

    Fantastic! Very easy to make as long as you watch the cream as it heats and keep whisking. I couldn't find my scale so I had to guess on the 4oz of chocolate which made it a bit rich. It was good, but had to eat smaller portions, which I guess is a good thing. To say the least, that was user error, and next time I will be sure to find my scale before I start! Great recipe!

    I really love this recipe. I add just a tad more chocolate than it calls for, and more whipped cream folded in. Sometimes, I make it with peanut butter, too. Every time I make it, every one loves it.

    This pie was a HUGE hit with my family. I spent way to much money buying pies at the local pie shop, and all my family wanted was this. This was gone in minutes and everyone begged me to make it again. My kids all want it at their birthdays instead of cake! It takes time... but it's not hard to make at all.

    I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner, my son requested a chocolate cream pie and this is what I found. And what a find it is! I did have to up the amount of butter for the crust to hold it together better, and I did up the chocolate a bit to get a bit richer flavor. Definitely go for the better quality chocolate, it does make all the difference. I am now told that I will be expected to make this again and again for years to come. Also, chop the chocolate before, have the egg yolks ready, measure everything out and read the directions over a few times to get the hang of it. Do that, be organized and you should have absolutely no trouble at all. Thanks!
