Directions
- To make the crust:

- Press the dough over the bottom and all the way up to the sides of an 9-inch pie pan well greased with butter.
- Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or freeze for about 10 minutes until the crust is firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350° f (180° c).
- Place a piece foil over pie, spread dry beans or rice evenly over the foil.

- Add the melted chocolate and process until combined.
- Pour the custard into the crust and bake at 325° f (160° c) for 30 minutes.
- Lower the temperature to 300° f (150° c), and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes until the pie is almost set and slightly giggle in the centre.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
