I read a lot of reviews for this recipe before trying it (searched for Sandra Lee's chocolate buttermilk pie). Many people said this didn't come out for them but I was determined to make it work because my daughter wanted buttermilk pie and I convinced her to try the chocolate version. I let all of my ingredients come to room temperature so they would incorporate well, since that was the main problem people were having. I think I let my chocolate cool a little too much because I had trouble getting it all to mix in however, everything came out well in the end. It just wasn't as rich as I hoped. Maybe it needs a little more chocolate or next time it would be best to keep the chocolate on the warm side so it incorporates better (without curdling the other ingredients). I also didn't have a deep dish pie crust so I used two regular crusts and it filled them perfectly. I gave the second pie to my neighbors and they enjoyed it as well. Thanks for sharing as I will definitely be trying this again.
