This is a great make-ahead dessert as it needs to chill at least 4 hours.
Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
Ingredients
- 1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
- 1/3 cup light-colored corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
- 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold edges under; flute. Place pie plate in freezer until ready to use.
Combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, and flour in a large bowl. Combine milk and next 5 ingredients (milk through egg whites); stir with a whisk until well blended. Add milk mixture to brown sugar mixture; stir until combined.
Pour mixture into crust. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until just set. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Cover; chill at least 4 hours. Spread whipped topping evenly over filling; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cocoa, if desired.

This is one of the easiest and best dessert recipes I've ever made and a hit with everyone. The only problem is that my husband would eat the entire thing so I don't make it as often as I would like. I use organic light agave nectar rather than corn syrup.09/19/09

I was excited to make this recipe and overall I'm pleased. It was simple to prepare and tastes very good.
However ... Reading reviews before baking, I was concerned about it coming out too runny, so I followed others' caution to make sure it set before chilling. I baked it 15 min. longer than in the recipe, checking the center at 5-min. intervals. Each time it seemed far too thin, but after 15 extra min. I took it out of the oven anyway, afraid of the soft center but wanting not to burn crust. The crust came out way too dry and the filling came out a little dry. The filling shriveled away from the crust wall while baking, leaving a gap so it fell apart easily when serving. As for the taste, I think the chocolate taste is just right. I love dark or rich chocolates and I thought the taste was delicious. The last thing that bothers me about this pie is the calorie content. People have commented that "wow, it tastes rich!" etc. Well, that's because it's calorie-laden. I cut it into 8 slices instead of 10 by mistake (8 seemed normal) and that is about 500 cal/slice.07/29/09
