Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (pre-baked)
• 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
• 170 grams Unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 240 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 30 grams Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the pie crust by pre-baking it according to package instructions or recipe, then allow it to cool completely.

Step 2

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Place the pan over low heat and whisk continuously until the mixture reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer (this ensures the eggs are safe to consume). Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a large bowl.

Step 4

Beat the egg and sugar mixture with a handheld mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually beat the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the egg mixture until fully combined.

Step 6

Add the room-temperature butter, one tablespoon at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Continue beating the mixture for 3–5 minutes until silky and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled chocolate filling.

Step 10

Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.
