Place chopped chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir slowly until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Place softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for about five minutes until light, fluffy and creamy.

Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the butter mixture. Mix slowly at first. Continue beating until the chocolate blends perfectly.

Add vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Beat again for about one minute. This step adds flavor and smooth aroma.

Add one egg into the mixture. Beat for four minutes before adding the next egg. Repeat until all eggs are mixed well.

After adding all eggs, beat the mixture again for several minutes. This step creates the famous silky texture.

Place your baked pie crust on a flat surface. Make sure it is completely cool before adding the filling.

Pour the chocolate filling into the crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Smooth the top gently.

Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least four hours. Chilling allows the filling to set properly.

In a bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This creates a light and fluffy topping.

Spread whipped cream over the chilled pie. Add chocolate shavings on top for a beautiful finish.

Cut the pie into even slices. Serve cold and enjoy the rich chocolate flavor.
