For the best flavor, use high-quality unsweetened chocolate.
If you don't have a pre-baked pie crust, you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust or make your own pastry crust from scratch.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, you can brush it with a thin layer of melted chocolate before pouring in the filling.
For a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream for half of the milk.
If you're using meringue, make sure the filling is completely cool before topping to prevent the meringue from weeping.
