Yes, a store bought unbaked pie crust works perfectly fine. It saves time and the pie still tastes great.

2. How do I know when the pie is done baking?

The pie is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out clean. It will continue to set as it cools.

3. Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this pie a day in advance. Let it cool completely, then cover and store it at room temperature.

4. Why did my pie crack on top?

5. Can I use dark cocoa powder instead of regular?

Yes, you can use dark cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor. The pie will be a bit richer and darker in color.
