Notes
This pie is best prepared a day in advance to allow the flavors and textures to fully develop, though the crust might soften if stored longer after being assembled with the pudding Including espresso powder in the recipe can elevate the chocolate flavor, but feel free to omit it if unavailable or undesired. This addition is optional but helps to enhance overall taste and consistency of this delicious treat.
