Ingredients

• 1 Pie crust (pre-baked, 9-inch)
• 4 oz Unsweetened baking chocolate
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by pre-baking a 9-inch pie crust according to package or recipe instructions. Allow it to cool completely before filling.

Step 2

In a microwave or double boiler, melt the unsweetened baking chocolate until smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature while preparing the other components.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the cooled chocolate to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating for 3-4 minutes after each addition. This step is crucial for achieving the silky texture of the filling, so do not rush.

Step 6

Once all eggs are incorporated, pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Step 8

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chocolate filling layer. For added elegance, garnish the pie with chocolate shavings or curls.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled for a truly indulgent treat.
