Hi Deeah,

I hope this recipe is close to the one you're looking for. There are several versions of this recipe. Using the same filling here are variations:

- top with chocolate frosting
- grate/shave chocolate on top
- spinkle chocolate chips on top
- sprinkle crushed peanuts on top
- swirl the melted chocolate into the filling
- spread the melted chocolate chip mixture over the pie crust before adding the filling
- instead of topping with chocolate, serve with chocolate syrup or hot fudge sauce

Other recipes use the same filling, freeze the pie (cover and freeze 4-6 hours or until firm). Serve frozen or thawed 20-30 minutes (just until easy to cut), or serve fully thawed; top with chocolate sauce.

Happy Cooking!
