As a southern gal, I am a pie lover. But chocolate pie takes the cake.
This chocolate pie is probably the easiest dessert I have ever made.
......and I have made a lot of desserts.
It's ridiculously easy, and so smooth and gooey and chocolaty. The pie crust is so perfect because it gives it that sweet and salty dimension.
I made it for a cookout I had at my house and everyone loved it. It's perfect for big groups!
.... or just for yourself :)
Are you ready for how easy this is?
First things first I have to confess that I am a total cheater.. because I bought my pie crust. I didn't make it from scratch. I was already crazed cooking a million other things so, I cheated.
And you know what? It was delicious.
I love this pie crust recipe if you are up for trying one!
I ended up buying the Pillsbury pie crust. I let it sit out at room temp for half an hour before using it. You will learn if you do not know already, working with pie crust can be a pain. But it is even MORE of a pain when it's solid and cold.. room temp softens it up a bit and makes it easier to work with.
Once you have your pie pan covered in your crust, take semisweet baking chocolate, and melt it with a stick of butter on the stove top. Once it's melted, add your sugar.
Tip: do this on LOW heat and stir the chocolate constantly. Chocolate burns very easily and it will ruin!
Beat two eggs with a whisk, until fluffy and bright. Let your chocolate mixture cool. This can be tricky, if you leave it too long it may solidify a bit, which you don't want. However, if it's still piping hot it will cook the egg, you don't want that either. Let it cool so that it's still warm, but not hot.
Cooking is like science. Science is hard.
Add the chocolate mixture to your beaten eggs.
Mix it all together and pour in your pie crust...
Bake for 30 minutes..
And then you have the best chocolate pie ever.
