A note on raw eggs: This recipe traditionally uses raw eggs. While this contributes to the signature silky texture, please be aware of the potential risks. Use only the freshest, pasteurized eggs if you have any concerns. Alternatively, you can find egg-free variations of this recipe online.
For an extra-rich flavor, use high-quality European-style butter.
Ensure your pie shell is completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.

    Absolutely divine! The best chocolate pie I've ever made.

  • Branson Powlowski

    This pie is dangerously good! I followed the recipe exactly, and it came out perfect. The texture is incredibly smooth and the chocolate flavor is intense.

  • Olga Schaden

    The 5-minute beating time for each egg is crucial! Don't skip this step. It really makes a difference in the texture.

  • Hulda Conn

    I was a bit nervous about the raw eggs, but I used pasteurized eggs and it worked perfectly. Everyone raved about it!
