Frequently Asked Questions

Why Is My Chocolate Pie Runny?

If you find that your chocolate pie is runny, then it is likely that you did not cook it for long enough to let the chocolate coagulate. This should happen around 160 degrees Celsius. However, also be mindful not to overcook the filling as well. As a baking beginner, it can be useful to have a food thermometer on hand to help you get it just right.

How Long Will My Chocolate Pie Last In The Fridge?

A freshly baked chocolate cream pie will usually last around 3-4 days in the refrigerator. This is highlighted for cream based pies, as dairy is one of the items of food that goes off the fastest. If you bake a chocolate pie without dairy products (a vegan option, for example) then it may last longer.

Why Is My Chocolate Pie Not Setting?

If your chocolate pie filling is too hot, then it is possible that the filling has not had time to set yet. When you pull the pie out of the oven, put it somewhere cool, such as a window sill. This will help the pie to cool down. The cooling process will probably take about three hours or so.

While it can be tempting to puncture the pie to help it cool down faster, it is best to just give it enough time to cool naturally for the best results.

How Do I Thicken A Chocolate Pie Filling?

One of the best ways to thicken a chocolate pie filling is with eggs and cornstarch. It does depend on your recipe, however.

To Conclude

We all love chocolate, and we all love pie, mixing them together is the obvious choice to make our lives a little more tasty. It doesn’t need to be difficult, and whether you are a new baker or seasoned baking veteran, it doesn’t matter if there is a recipe out there for everyone!
