Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
4 one ounce squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
1 tsp pure vanilla
4 large eggs
Directions:
Melt chocolate in a small bowl over hot water. Do not let the chocolate harden up.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter at medium to high speed about 1 minute.
Add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time and continue to beat until light and fluffy. This will take 3-5 minutes. Scrape bowl often. It must be mixed long enough so it is no longer gritty.
Slowly add the melted chocolate to the butter mixture, beating on low to medium speed until the chocolate is well blended and mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape again.
On medium speed, add eggs one at a time, beating after each one before adding the next egg.Scrape bowl.
Add vanilla and give it one more mix.
Spread into premade pie crust, top with whipped cream (or Cool Whip)
Substitution notes from Shawnana: I will often times use 4 tbs of melted shortening mixed with 12 heaping tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa in place of the melted unsweetened baking chocolate.
sister, these all look so so soooooo yummy. You're lovely to post them all here!
