Total Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 8 Servings

Ingredients :

• 1 9 inch pie crust (homemade or store bought)
• 6 oz bittersweet, unsweetened, or semi sweet chocolate
• 1 cup butter (softened, 2 sticks)
• 1 1/2 cups ultra fine sugar (regular sugar will most likely cause the pie to be gritty)
• 1/2 TBS vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs (eggs will not be cooked so it's best to get fresh pasteurized eggs)
• For the Topping:
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (or 8 oz cool whip)
• 4 TBS powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• chocolate curls shavings

Instructions :

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread your pie crust into a greased 9inch pie pan. Place a piece of parchment paper over the crust and fill it with pie weights, dried beans, or dried rice.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.
• Allow to cool completely.
• For the Chocolate Filling:
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, till you can stir it smooth. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric stand mixer on medium high with a whisk attachment. Whisk for 6 to 7 minutes until the sugar starts to dissolve and the mixture is light and fluffy, and turns white.
• Add in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract and mix till totally smooth.
• Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat on medium high for 5 minutes after you add each egg. (So 20 minutes total)
• Spread chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust.
• Place in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or overnight.
• For the Whipped Cream Topping:
• Add the heavy whipping cream to a stand mixer, or large bowl with a hand mixer. Whisk with the whisk attachment on high until stiff peaks form.
• Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix on high.
• Transfer to another bowl and set in the fridge till needed.
• Spread whipped topping over the chocolate filling.
• Top with chocolate shavings or curls if desired.
• Serve cold. Store extra pie covered in the fridge for up to 1 week.
