Equipment

  • Propane Stove

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust baked

Pie Filling

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet dark chocolate chips or baking bars melted
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Pie Filling:

  • Using a double boiler on your propane stove, add dark chocolate morsels, and over low heat allow the chocolate to melt. Gently stir to ensure fully melted and avoid burning. When smooth and melted, set aside and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Using a large mixing bowl or standing mixer, combine softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to mix until the mixture becomes smooth and silky.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the cooled melted dark chocolate. Mix until well combined.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined.

Assemble the Pie:

  • Spoon in pie filling mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Chill Pie:

  • Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator for 4 hours or until completely chilled to allow it to set.

Serve and Garnish:

  • Remove from the refrigerator, slice, and serve chilled. Optional to garnish the entire pie or just a slice with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
  • Enjoy!
