I've made this pie many times and it ALWAYS comes out fabulous. I make one alteration. I turn it into a layered chocolate peanut butter pie!!! I make 2 crusts and two batches of pudding, one batch chocolate and one batch peanut butter. Do this by substituting peanut butter chips for the chocolate and add two regular teaspoons (not meaduring spoons) of creamy peanut butter. When everything is cool, divide the peanut butter pudding between the 2 cooled crusts and spread evenly over the bottom of the crust. Now layer the chocolate pudding over the peanut butter layer by dropping by spoonfuls evenly. Lightly spread the chocolate layer over the peanut butter layer and even out. The goal is to try not to mix the layers, so you have 2 distinct layers when you cut it. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours. Garnish with sweet whipped cream and chocolate curls. This is what i make every year for his birthday. I hope some of you will try this. It really is to die for. :)
