1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 (1-ounce) bars (square) unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup prepared whipped cream
chocolate shavings or curls

In the bowl of your mixer, cream the butter approximately 1 minute. Add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and continue to beat approximately 3 to 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.

Using low speed of your mixer, slowly add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract to the butter mixture until the chocolate is well blended and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg before adding the next egg.

Pour the prepared chocolate mixture into either a baked pie shell or graham crack crust (your choice). Refrigerate until set.

Served with prepared whipped cream, chocolate curls or shaving, and/or roasted pecans.
