Triple Chocolate Cream Pie Tips

• The Oreo crust does not need to be bake, but if you prefer a crunchy crust, you can bake the crust before the chocolate filling is poured in for 5-8 minutes
• Taking your time with the custard it the key to a smooth and creamy texture.  Once the custard is back on the stove this needs to be a slow process to thicken so that you don't over cook the eggs and they become chunks in the custard.  Keep the heat on low and continuously stir with wood spoon until it becomes thick
• When slicing the pie, make sure that it is very cold for a clean and easy serving
