Chocolate Chess Pie
Allrecipes/Kim Shupe
“I tried this recipe and loved it… Added my own twist with a half cup of milk chocolate chips.” —Shaun Williams
Ruth’s Chocolate Pecan Pie
“This was super fast and easy to make. Like other reviews stated, be sure to temper the eggs or you’ll end up with a chunky, scrambled egg mixture…My husband and daughter both said it was the best pie they’ve ever had.” —Stephanie M
Tar Heel Pie
“The directions were flawless just as written. This was an easy recipe and presents beautifully. Using semi-sweet chocolate chips (as the recipe calls for) produces a perfect sweetness–not candy bar sweet, but closer to a brownie.” —Meghan Briggs
Rich Chocolate Truffle Pie
Allrecipes/Diana Chistruga
“If you like chocolate give this a try. Very easy to make and so delicious. The only thing I did different was to use a graham cracker crust instead of chocolate.” —Juliette
Mississippi Mud Pie
“This dessert was part of my Mother’s Day menu. Made the day before and it was perfect the day of.” —Holly
Next-Best-Thing-To-Robert-Redford Pie
Allrecipes / Julia Hartbeck
“Creamy, gooey, chocolate-y and delicious! I particularly love the walnut shortbread base. Going to be more heavy-handed with the chocolate sprinkles on top next time, or maybe use chocolate chips or chunks.” —LivelyCow1858
Chocolate Cream Pie
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
“My husband absolutely loves it. I did add an extra egg yolk and one extra tablespoon cornstarch (as per some of the reviews had mentioned). It came out perfectly set and delicious.” —Allrecipes member
Bev’s Chocolate Pie
Kim
“I’ve made this pie several times and it’s absolutely delicious. I ended up needing to cook for at least 50 minutes until it was set.” —ChillySeed3464
Oreo Triple Layer Chocolate Pie
“Great and easy recipe! This pie was delicious and easy to make. I added crumbled Oreo crumbs for a little added decoration on top of mine. Didn’t change anything except maybe let set 6 hours instead of 4!” —brianna skiff
Margaret’s Southern Chocolate Pie
“Rich, chocolaty, and goes quickly at every gathering we bring it to. I’ve personally never made the meringue and prefer to use Cool Whip or whipped cream instead.” —Elisabeth
French Silk Chocolate Pie
Mackenzie Schieck
“Omg, this is delicious! I whipped it for 5 minutes after adding the first egg and then another 5 minutes after the second egg. Smooth, silky, chocolatey and scrumptious. I used a premade pretzel crust and the amount of filling was perfect.” —Yoly
Double Chocolate Pie
“I make this every Thanksgiving. Recipe is perfect. Make sure you keep stirring the whole time it is on the stove.” —carolyn0219
German Chocolate Pie

“I did not have pecans, so I used almonds. The pie is not so pretty to look at but it sure tastes yummy.” —Gail Page O’Brien
Fudgy Chocolate Cream Pie
“I made this with arrowroot instead of cornstarch because we didn’t have cornstarch. Turned out perfectly, and love the flavor. Everyone chose it over the other two pies the first night and like that it was gone.” —UniqueRoll8526
Pretzel Fudge Pie
“Very decadent! Next time I would use more butter in the crust because it came out dry and did not set. I had to bake for 1 hour ten minutes.” —Allrecipes member
Chocolate Buttermilk Pie with Whiskey and Almonds
Holiday Baker
“Loved this pie- was easy to make and used ingredients I had on hand except the vanilla bean paste. I subbed almond paste and it was still terrific!” —MartieHomemade
Death by Chocolate Mousse
“Incredible! Used oreo cookie crumbs for crust.” —Nicole Reeves Baulch
Mari’s Dessert Pie
“Great recipe. I find that cooking it in a 13x9in pan is too thin. Next time I will double everything. The family loved it! It was gone within 2 days.” —Aneesa Zannete
Chocolate Banana Pie
“I’ve made this pie on many holidays for many years and it’s always a hit. Very rich but not overly sweet. The suggestion to make the night before is a good one!” —ce3
Marbled Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
“Because I didn’t want to use sweetened condensed milk, I used my Libby’s pumpkin pie recipe and then added the marbling part of the recipe. It was a hit with my grandson whose favorites are pumpkin and chocolate.” —jeanwesterlund
