I really like the pie. I plan on making it again today. I just wanted to read the reviews on it, since I didn't read them before I made the pie the 1st time. The reason I looked at the reviews is because I was wondering if I could add powdered sugar to the whipping cream. I'm glad I looked at the reviews , cause it gave me more ideas about making it. all in all I loved it. I didn't eat all day so that I could have more pieces of the pie without feeling guilty. He- he

Wonderful!!

I haven't made this pie yet, but in reading the recipe and the reviews I can see why people had problems with the filling thickening. The procedure is wrong. Cornstarch mixtures have to boil for at least 1 full minute to activate the thickening properties of the cornstarch. The proper procedure would be to blend the cornstarch, sugar, salt and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 1 full minute. Add the chocolate chips and stir until melted. Add a small amount of the hot mixture to the beaten egg yolks to temper them, then add the egg yolks back into the pudding. The mixture will be hot enough to cook the egg yolks without further cooking. Transfer to a bowl and allow it cool to room temp. Beat the cream cheese until soft and creamy. When mixture is cool, add it to the cream cheese and blend well. Cover and refrigerate until cold. Fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture and spoon into the baked pie shell. I would definitely add 1 tablespoon or so of powdered sugar to the remaining whipped cream and whip a little more until stiff. To intensify the chocolate flavor, I would replace 1/2 of the milk with cold coffee, or add a tablespoon of instant coffee to the milk. If you like a really dark chocolate flavor, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cornstarch sugar mixture.
