French Silk Chocolate Pie
Silky-smooth, luscious, rich, and creamy are all words you could use to describe this chocolate-lover's dream of a dessert!
Ingredients

- 2 1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups Whipped cream
Instructions
- Bake the pie crust, unless you are using a graham cracker crust.
- In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate over low heat. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
- Meanwhile, in an electric mixer, cream the butter.
- Gradually add the sugar and blend until creamy.
- Mix in the cooled chocolate and the vanilla.
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating for 5 minutes after each addition on medium speed until the mixture is very light and fluffy.
