Ingredients
2 pre-made pie crusts
2 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled (e.g., Ghirardelli)
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup butter, softened to room temperature
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
Notes
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
Cut the pie crusts into round circles about 3 inches across, or use flower-shaped cookie cutters.
Bake for approximately 7 minutes. If the bottoms puff up, gently press with a fork to deflate.
Let the pie crusts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling, ensure the melted chocolate is cool but still stirrable.
Blend granulated sugar in a processor until ultra-fine, then cream with softened butter in a mixer.
Add cooled chocolate and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
Add one egg at a time, mixing each on high for 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and silky.
Spoon the filling into cooled pie crusts and refrigerate for about 2 hours to set.
For the whipped cream, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Pipe whipped cream onto chilled pies and garnish with chocolate pieces.
