Chocolate Pie image

Not only was this super easy to make it was also super delicious! The top has a slight crunch and the inside is soft and creamy. I tried it at room temp when it was slightly warm with a dollop of whipped cream and it was perfect. I also tried it after cooling in the fridge and it's great that way too. You can not go wrong with...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick butter
2 oz baking chocolate, semi-sweet
2 eggs
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pie crust shell (regular) not deep dish
SHORTBREAD CRUST
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz butter, softened

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter and chocolate squares in saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • 2. Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl; add chocolate mixture and mix well.
  • 3. Pour in pie shell or follow directions for shortbread crust.
  • 4. Shortbread crust Combine flour, sugar and salt in a medium size bowl. Add butter and using large fork or hands work butter in flour mixture until dough comes together as a ball. Press dough into a tart pan. Fill with chocolate filling. Bake at 350 for 30-35 min.
  • 5. Using either type crust (regular or shortbread) bake at 350 for 30-35 min. ***This chocolate pie does have a "rugged" look because of the slightly crunchy top. Yes, the pie may crack while cooling. Yes, it is a bit hard to tell when the pie is done; and yes, a toothpick will still come out with chocolate on it after 30 -35 min baking time but the pie solidifies while cooling. It does look a little "jiggly" upon taking it out of the oven. Hope this helps with any questions and or concerns.
