Pioneer Woman's Delicious Chocolate Pie

                                                    Prep: 30 mins Level: Easy    Cook: - Serves: 8
Ingredients

4 ounces, weight Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
1 cup Salted Butter, Softened
1-½ cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 whole Eggs
1 package Baked Pie Shell

Directions:

In small microwave safe bowl melt 4 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate until
stirrable (about 45 seconds on high). Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of regular (salted) butter and
1 ½ cups of white sugar until fluffy (about 1 to 2 minutes). When melted chocolate is
cooled, drizzle it over the butter/sugar mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat
the mixture thoroughly until combined (on a Kitchen Aid mixer, you will be using the
whisk attachment).
Turn your mixer to a medium speed and over a period of 15 to 20 minutes add in the
four eggs, one at a time, leaving about 5 minutes between each egg addition. Once the
pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shell, scraping every last speck of it
out of the bowl. Smooth out the pie filling and place pie in the refrigerator to chill for at
least two hours (preferably longer).
Plop a heap of whipped cream and garnish with a few chocolate curls

Enjoy!
Make it a great one!!
