Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Chocolate shavings or curls for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Bake the pie crust according to package directions or your homemade recipe. Allow it to cool completely.
- Make the Chocolate Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate and mix until combined. Add the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate the Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled chocolate filling.
