Wagon Wheel French Chocolate Pie

For many years, Major Petrie's Wagon Wheel Playhouse in Warsaw, IN, included a restaurant at the top of the hill. It was sold in 1970. This silky French chocolate pie was a favorite at the restaurant.

Makes 1, 8-inch pie
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs (use pasteurized for safety)
  • Baked pie shell
  • Whipped cream to garnish
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream ½ cup butter with ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy. Melt chocolate in microwave at 50% power. Blend melted chocolate and 1 tsp vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating a full 5 minutes after each addition. Pour mixture into small baked pie shell and chill the pie. Garnish with whipped cream. Serve very cold.

Keep this pie very cold right up to serving time. I learned that the hard way :) Trying to shoot pictures of the pie on a hot day, it about melted off the plate.
