Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsweetened chocolate and unsalted butter together. Stir frequently until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Gently fold everything together until just combined.
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if not already prepared. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
Pour the fudge filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly cracked on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Serve as is or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
