Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell pre-made pie crust
- 170 grams semi-sweet baking chocolate
- 170 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream
- 15 grams powdered sugar
- 30 grams chocolate shavings or curls (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Pre-bake the 9-inch pie crust according to packaging instructions. Allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer. Beat for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Add the melted chocolate to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 3-4 minutes after each egg. This step is crucial for the silky texture and to ensure the filling is light and airy.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared and cooled pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. This will be used as the topping.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the top of the chilled pie.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls, if desired.
Slice and serve cold. Enjoy your silky, decadent chocolate pie!
