Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides a flaky, tender crust; use unsalted for better salt control.
  • ½ cup Sugar Sweetens the crust for balanced flavor; brown sugar can add depth.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour The base for the crust; sifting ensures a lighter texture.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate The star ingredient offering rich flavor; dark chocolate works well for a bolder taste.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds creaminess to the filling; coconut cream can substitute for a dairy-free option.
  • 3 large Eggs Helps set the filling; flaxseed meal mixed with water can substitute for a vegan version.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Easter Egg Chocolates Decorative topping that adds sweetness; any small chocolate candies are suitable.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream 1 cup of unsalted butter with ½ cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in 2 cups of all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Roll to ¼ inch thick, fit into a 9-inch pie dish, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prick the bottom of the chilled crust with a fork, then bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.
  3. Melt 8 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate with 1 cup of heavy cream until smooth. Cool slightly, then whisk in 3 beaten eggs.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for 25–30 minutes; it should be set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  5. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate briefly for a firmer texture.
  6. Top with colorful Easter egg chocolates before serving.
  7. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Melt chocolate gently and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to prevent a runny filling. Store tightly covered for up to 3 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 2 months.
