Don’t add the lemon juice bc it makes the pudding taste weird

This pie tasted amazing! It was a little bitter though, so I would suggest using semi sweet/milk chocolate instead of bittersweet.

I love this pie so much! Although the recipe makes a lot of pudding so don’t put all of it in the pie. If I were you I would just put it away for pudding for another time.
