Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made chocolate pie crust
  • 1 cup 240ml heavy cream
  • 2 cups 340g semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream or chocolate shavings for topping optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Blind bake the chocolate pie crust for 10 minutes.
  3. Melt chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 30-second bursts.
  4. Whisk eggs and sugar until fluffy.
  5. Slowly combine melted chocolate with eggs while whisking continuously.
  6. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  7. Pour filling into baked pie crust and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until center slightly jiggles.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  10. Top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings before serving (optional).

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to avoid curdling the chocolate.
  • Do not overbake; slight jiggle in the center ensures a silky texture.
  • Pre-made crust saves time and prevents sogginess.
  • Customize toppings: nuts, berries, caramel, or extra chocolate.
  • Chill overnight for best results.
