?This recipe is everything it advertises — super rich and the filling is exactly the texture of the filling of a truffle,? raves KatieW9908. ?It?s so rich that it definitely needs that dollop of whipped cream on top to break it up.?

?I was skeptical when I read how few ingredients this pie has, but made it using Trader Joe’s semisweet chunks and we absolutely loved it,? according to Laura B. ?I piped a small amount of whipped cream on top and it was devoured in four days by two of us.?

?This was very easy to make and turned out well,? says Welliegirl. ?I made it for some co-workers, who devoured the whole thing. The richness of the chocolate was fabulous. I chose to fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture instead of using a mixer to maintain the fluffiness and it worked perfectly.?
