Prep Time:

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled

Instructions:

Note on Eggs:

Uncooked eggs can contain salmonella, which can cause severe illness, particularly among infants, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. If you are concerned about the quality of the eggs you are using, substitute pasteurized liquid eggs.

Crust:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🌡️
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. 🧈✨
3. Gradually add in the graham cracker crumbs, mixing just enough to create a slightly crumbly paste. 🍪
4. Press the crumb mixture evenly into an 8- or 9-inch pie plate, forming a smooth, even layer. 📏
5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. ⏲️
6. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. ❄️

Filling:

1. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the butter and confectioners’ sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. 🌬️
2. Add the melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. 🍫
3. Add one egg to the mixture and beat for no less than 5 minutes. This step is crucial to achieve the silky texture. Repeat this process for each of the remaining eggs, ensuring each is beaten for at least 5 minutes. 🥚⏱️
4. Pour the rich, chocolatey filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. 🍫🥧
5. Refrigerate the pie for a full 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set properly. 🕒

Garnish:

1. Just before serving, adorn the top of the pie with dollops of sweetened whipped cream. 🌬️🍦
2. Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance and chocolatey goodness. 🍫✨

Serving:

Cut the pie into 8 decadent slices, and watch as your guests revel in the silky, smooth texture and deep chocolate flavor of this exquisite dessert. 🎉🍽️

Tips for Success:

• Do Not Rush: Beating each egg for at least 5 minutes is essential to achieve the luxurious, silky texture of the filling. Do not try to shortcut this process.
• Chill Time: The 24-hour refrigeration is crucial for the pie to set perfectly. Plan ahead to allow enough time for this step.
