Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and eggs. This will ensure that they combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from overheating and seizing.
  • Be careful not to overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can cause the pie to be tough and rubbery.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  • Serve the pie with fresh berries, whipped cream, or ice cream.
