Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the 1 pre-made pie crust in a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    In a small saucepan, heat the 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp sugar over medium until steaming, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat and add the 200 g dark chocolate and 2 tbsp butter. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the chocolate mixture into the baked crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle the 2 tbsp chocolate shavings over the top. Let set at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.
