   • In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt.
   • Grate cold butter into the flour using the medium side of a box grater.
   • Cut shortening into chunks and blend it into the flour mixture until pea-sized clumps form.
   • Stir in ice water with a fork until the dough begins to form.
   • Press the dough into a smooth, flat disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
   • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 13-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate.
   • Trim overhanging dough and crimp the edges.
   • Refrigerate the pie shell for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat and Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Prick the chilled pie shell all over with a fork.
   • Line the pie shell with foil and fill it with pie weights or dry beans or rice.
   • Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and weights and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
   • Let the pie shell cool for 15 minutes before filling.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Filling:

   • In a small saucepan, heat cream and sugar over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
   • Turn off the heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate until melted and smooth.
   • Stir in unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
   • Scrape the chocolate mixture into the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
   • Let the chocolate mixture stand until just warm, about 20 minutes.
   • Beat the chocolate mixture at medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom of the bowl is no longer warm.
   • With the mixer running at medium speed, slowly pour in the egg beaters in a steady stream and continue to beat for a few more minutes until the mixture thickens around the edges and becomes paler in color.

4. Assemble and Chill:

   • Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pie shell and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours.

5. Whip the Cream:

   • Just before serving, beat heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form, either with a heavy-duty mixer or a handheld mixer.
   • Mound the whipped cream onto the chilled pie.

6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Garnish the pie with chocolate curls for an extra touch of elegance.
   • Slice and serve this decadent Bittersweet Chocolate Silk Pie to impress your guests or indulge yourself in its rich flavors.

Enjoy this delightful dessert that’s sure to become a favorite among friends and family!
