Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. In a microwave set to 50% power level (or power level 5), heat for 30 seconds. Stir chocolate around, and heat for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat as needed until chocolate is melted. After each round, be sure to fully stir the chocolate - it will help melt the rest of the unmelted chocolate.
Add pumpkin to the bowl with chocolate and mix until fully combined. Add eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and evaporated milk and whisk until smooth. Pour into cooled crust.
Bake for 60 - 70 minutes until the edges of the pie are set and the middle of the pie no longer looks liquidy. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Shave the end of the chocolate bar using a vegetable peeler to create chocolate curls to garnish on top of the pie. Serve with whipped cream.
Make Ahead: The pie can be baked up to 1 day ahead. Tightly wrap and store in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature or straight out of the refrigerator (whichever you prefer).
Storage: Tightly wrap and store in the refrigerator. The pie will last an additional 2-3 days. You may notice some liquid forming in the bottom of the pie pan after a couple of days. This is harmless to eat but can begin to make the crust soggy.
