Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 pre-baked pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 handful optional chocolate shavings or whipped cream for topping

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat for an additional 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 3

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Allow it to cool slightly before adding to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the chocolate mixture, beating for 2 minutes after each egg. This step ensures the filling becomes silky smooth. Continue until all eggs are incorporated.

Step 6

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set.

Step 10

Before serving, top with chocolate shavings or additional whipped cream for garnish if desired.

Step 11

Slice into pieces and enjoy this decadent dessert.
