- Pour the filling into the pie shell.
- Scatter the chopped chocolate pieces over the filling and press into the filling with the back of a spoon.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven about 50-60 minutes, until the pie looks set but slightly soft, like gelatin, when gently pressed with the back of a spoon.
- Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 4 hours.

I'm 23 years old and I live in Trinidad. One of the islands in the Caribbean.
I love baking and have a major sweet tooth but I am trying to cook more savoury foods and I am enjoying trying new recipes.
Recently I have come to love photographing the food I make. Too bad they don't all come out photo worthy, but at least they still taste good! lol
