This is really reall good!! Made this last night, exactly as written (well, I made my own crust, couldn't find a ready made one). It is sort of like a chocolate pudding pie in texture but with the cheesecake taste. The nice thing about it was that it has a great chocolate flavor, but it's not too rich! I can see this definitely becoming a regular here! thanks

This is pretty good. For the crust, I sprinkled chocolate cake crumbs over the bottom of a 9 inch glass pie pan. I used splenda instead of sugar, and added 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract. I only used about 2 1/2 teaspoons of gelatin as that's all that was in a packet, and I didn't want to open another one. Next time I may reduce it to 2 teaspoons, as the pie seemed almost too firm. Thanks for the great recipe!
