This pie was a huge hit with my overly picky kids who did nothing but smack praises of it's goodness the entire time they were eating it. Everyone loves this pie. To change it up I add flavored liquors and extracts depending on the occasion. Watch your bake times. if it is still a little soft in the middle, leaving it in a few more minutes is fine. No extra when I used a deep pie dish but when I do I just pour it into a crock and cook it with the pie. Problem solved.

This was good, but not the recipe featured on her program. There wasn't flour in that one, and it turned out like the photo which is the one from her show. I want that one! This one is basically a brownie in a crust. I can do that from a box!

i baked this pie this week and it turned out well. followed the tips to have the buttermilk and eggs at room temp, no problem with seizing. i used an mixer thw whole time so everything would mix well. used homemade pie crust and prebaked it a little before adding filling. recipe will make two pies: two 8 in or 2 9in but one will be thinner. watch the time. mine didn't take the whole recommended time to cook, and i overcooked it slightly. it's hard to test it when that top is looking so nice with it's pretty crust, but do. if you want it fudgy, don't leave it in there the whole time. the pie will rise a lttle while baking and then fall some. because i left it in too long, i had some cracks in the top. served with whipped cream, cold. very good without being too rich. may make again.

I thought it tasted delicious. I made my own simple crust and that alone was delicious then I added the pie and that was just even more yummy. I thought it was stupid that they would plan for leftover batter... I was really confused why they didn't just measure out differently but I didn't care enough not to try it. With the extra batter I just put it in a microwave safe bowl and microwaved it for about 10-15 minutes and it tastes delicious. Different texture than the baked one but still sooo good! Being a poor college student I don't let anything go to waste and the microwave saved me from wasting the extra batter. :-

I made this recipe several years ago after I saw it on Sandra's show. It was delicious and was a big hit at the barbecue I made it for. The only thing I would change is the crust - either to graham cracker or oreo cookie crust. The deep dish crush was too soggy. One thing I remember that the pie tasted better with age (I made two pies, so make the pie ahead and freeze or refrigerate it. I will definitely make this again!

I love this pie, had no problems at all. I also used a deep dish pie plate so had no left over batter at all. Everyone loved the pie, it's like hot brownie pie!!

This pie seems just *good* at first. Then you want seconds. Then you are thinking about making it again. Next you find it's a favorite one that you turn to again and again. Everyone LOVES this pie. And it's so easy! I've never had a problem making this recipe. No clumps. Ingredients are room temp or not. I've made it many times. Always comes out great. I WILL say that I can make two pies out of this large quantity recipe. It's not just a cup leftover. It's a pie's worth.

I love this recipe, and so far everyone I've made it for agrees...Simple and delicious, for someone who hates to bake this recipe has been my saving grace for the Holidays...It does take a little trial and error, but it is almost impossible to mess up...I've learned that it is better to have all the ingredients closer to room temperature, but also that if you don't, it may not look pretty going into the oven, but you'll still have an awesome pie at the end...I garnish mine with CARAMEL MACCHIATO WHIPPED CREAM and miniature chocolate chips...

I don't usually have recipes that fail on me -- I'm a pretty good cook. But when I added the melted chocolate chips to the buttermilk/ egg mixture, it seized, and I had these gluey gross chunks of chocolate. (I salvaged it by straining most of that out and dumping a bunch of cocoa powder into the mixture.

So my resulting pie was pretty good, but I wouldn't try this recipe again! (If you do, then maybe be reallysure that your buttermilk/ egg mixture is at room temperature, and that your melted chocolate has cooled to room temp. So you probably need to add another hour of inactuve time to planning to make this recipe...

My pie came out perfectly and I did not have any "leftover" better because I used a deep dish pie pan. The result, however, was nothing special and it took a lot of time to make. Also, six eggs in one pie? Barefoot Contessa has a much better recipe-will not be making this again. A waste of time and ingredients.
