This pie knocked my socks off! So rich and decadent, a small piece is sufficient, to satisfy your sweet tooth. I'm not sure if I got the right size crust, as I only found chocolate, not Oreo. I figured it didn't make much difference, but if there is a size difference, that does matter. The filling was piled SO high in the crust, that the lid wouldn't fit! I could not tell the difference between the '2' layers; not quite sure of the reasoning, unless it is to make sure it freezes without overflowing the crust. I couldn't stop licking the bowl, beaters, etc. It really does taste like a Mexican hot chocolate! I can not wait to share with friends and family! Thanks for sharing this fab recipe, ThePartyGuy! Made for Fall PAC 2011.

Made this recipe as given, since my pie ventures aren't usually the Mexican kind OR the frozen kind! Still, it came together very nicely & was part of my contribution to our park-wide pie-tasting event the other day! Fortunately it was held in our recreation room which has a fridge & freezer! Anyway, once it was brought out, it was gone in no time at all, even with those very small pieces! Loved the unusual taste of the chocolate!
