Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Pre-made pie crust
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Roasted cashews
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 5

Scatter the roasted cashews evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Pour the chocolate filling over the cashews, spreading it evenly with a spatula if needed.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A slight jiggle in the center is okay as it will firm up as it cools.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 9

Slice the pie and serve as is, or top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
