French Silk Chocolate Pie

Such a delicious pie from Cook's Country.

Recipe:

1 cup chilled heavy cream
3 large eggs
¾ cups sugar
2 tablespoon water
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon vanilla
8 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 9-inch pie shell, baked and cooled

With electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream to stiff peaks and refrigerate.

Combine eggs, sugar, and water in large heatproof bowl set over saucepan filled with ½ inch barely simmering water (don’t let bowl touch water). With electric mixer on medium speed, beat until egg mixture is thickened and registers 160°F. Remove bowl from heat and continue to beat egg mixture until fluffy and cooled to room temperature.

 Beat, fold, cool: Add chocolate and vanilla to cool egg mixture and beat until incorporated. Beat in butter, a few pieces at a time, until well combined. Using spatula, fold in whipped cream until no streaks of white remain. Scrape filling into pie shell and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours. Serve.
