Ingredients

Dough for single-crust pie
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
10 tablespoons butter
1-1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 350°.
Place chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until melted; let cool slightly. With a hand mixer, beat in sugar, flour, salt, eggs and vanilla on medium speed until lighter in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add filling to crust. Bake until top starts to crack and filling is set, 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven; cool completely.

My mom could always whip this yummy and decadent dessert up for unexpected company. It's best served right from oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! —Jane Stencil, Green Bay, Wisconsin
