One
, blind baked in a pie plate and cooled
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
3 large egg yolks
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp. water
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
Freshly whipped cream, for serving
Optional: chocolate shavings

1
Whip heavy cream and set aside in the fridge.
2
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
3
Whisk the yolks, sugar, and water together in the bowl from your stand mixer (if using) or a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of boiling water (double boiler) and whisk vigorously.
4
Continue to whisk until the temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and remove from the heat.
5
Immediately begin whisking yolk mixture on high speed (use towels to protect your hands, the bowl will be hot!) until it grows in size and thickness and comes to room temperature-about 5 minutes.
6
Reduce speed of mixer to low and begin streaming the cooled melted chocolate into the bowl with the yolks. Mix until combined.
7
Fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream (you may need to rewhip a bit before doing this since it will loosen up in the fridge), taking care not to deflate the cream.
8
Pour mixture directly into the cooled, blind-baked pie shell.
9
Chill the pie in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Top with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings right before serving.

Tip: Use a knife dipped in warm water for clean slicing, and be sure to clean the knife between each incision.
