A terrific pie -- very easy and delicious. For a slightly more elegant approach, make it a chocolate-orange tart by adding to the chocolate some fresh orange zest (about one orange worth) and by reducing the whipping cream added to the chocolate from one cup to 1/2 cup. The orange and chocolate is unbelieveably good, and adding orange zest is super easy.
