Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Scatter the roasted cashews evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Pour the chocolate filling over the cashews, spreading it evenly with a spatula if needed.
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.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Slice the pie and serve as is, or top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
