Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and flute the edges if needed, then set it aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Add the eggs to the dry ingredients, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the batter, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.
Pour the fudge batter into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly wobbly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before slicing. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
