The recipe is taken from the book "French Home Cooking. Stories and Recipes from the Grape Country" by Mimi Thorisson. I make this dessert when I can't think of any other ideas. It doesn't sound very flattering, but in general, this pie is very popular with all my household members and they never get tired of it. Salted butter gives the pie a special twist, but you need to be careful with it and make sure that it doesn't "overpower" the taste of chocolate. However, this is not easy to do, this pie is very chocolatey. I prefer to bake it until done, so that it is juicy, but completely baked, but the children often ask to take it out of the oven a couple of minutes earlier. The choice is yours!
