How to Make Forget Your Diet Luscious Chocolate Cream Pie

  1. **Make the Pie Crust:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  3. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, mixing with a fork or your hands until a dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and firm. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
  7. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with 1 cup of dried beans or pie weights.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  9. Remove the weights and parchment paper and let the crust cool completely.
  10. **Make the Chocolate Ganache:** Finely chop 8 ounces (227g) bittersweet chocolate and place in a large bowl.
  11. In a heavy saucepan, heat 2 cups (473ml) heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to boil.
  12. Immediately pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
  13. Gently whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy.
  14. Pour the ganache into the cooled pie crust.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
  16. Before serving, garnish with 1/2 cup fresh berries and chill for another 30 minutes for best results.
