Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (finely chopped or in chips)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Chocolate shavings or chunks (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and bake the pie crust according to package instructions (if using a store-bought crust), or prepare your homemade crust. Allow it to cool completely before filling.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in short bursts, stirring often until smooth.
  3. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (not boil). Remove from heat.
  4. Combine the cream and chocolate mixture. Pour the hot cream over the melted chocolate and butter, allowing it to sit for a minute before stirring gently until smooth and glossy.
  5. Add vanilla extract and stir again until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the ganache filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
  7. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
  8. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings just before serving for an elegant finish.
