Warm Chocolate Pie (Anguilla)

This recipe is from week nine of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Anguilla is my ninth stop. This Anguillan dessert is a little unusual in that it has no crust and is thickened with breadcrumbs instead of flour.
