Wow this is wonderful! I made this for a co-worker who requested a chocolate chess pie for her birthday. I was worried when I was making it that it wouldn't come out but in the end it was fine. I was positive it was going to overflow in the oven because it was so full in the crust but (fortunately!) that didn't happen. I did have to bake it longer though because after 45 minutes it was pretty jiggly in the center. I baked for 8 more minutes and it was still jiggly so added 5 more minutes - looked good at this point. Once cooled the texture was perfect. I just noticed that I used large eggs not extra large so don't know if that added to my difficulties. The only change I made was to use 1 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips for the German sweet chocolate. Thanks so much for the recipe Molly! -Apr 7, 2008. Update: I made two more of these for a fund raiser yesterday and used the extra large eggs this time - they came out MUCH better; I didn't have to bake them nearly as long (45 min for one, 48 for the other).) This time I used bittersweet chocolate and they were surprisingly super chocolatey. Thanks again for the recipe!
