Step 6

6. Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and carefully pour the pumpkin filling over the chocolate layer.

Step 7

7. Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 8

8. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 9

9. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, if desired.
