Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup (240 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
Dairy Components:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) for optimal pie preparation.
- Create a silky chocolate mixture by gently melting chocolate chips into heavy cream, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract, whisking thoroughly to integrate all ingredients.
- Slowly incorporate the warm chocolate mixture into the egg blend, ensuring a consistent and velvety texture without overmixing.
- Transfer the luxurious chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly to prevent air pockets.
- Position the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a set consistency with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove from oven and allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, which helps the filling solidify and develop rich flavors.
- Once cooled, slice and serve the decadent chocolate pie, optionally garnishing with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Chill the pie crust beforehand to prevent soggy bottom and ensure a crisp texture.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer, more intense flavor profile that elevates the entire dessert.
- Gently fold chocolate mixture to avoid overbeating, which can create air bubbles and affect the smooth, silky consistency.
- Accommodate dietary needs by substituting dairy-free chocolate and using coconut cream for a vegan-friendly version of this decadent pie.
