Chocolate Sweetheart Pie
- 1 store-bought, refrigerated, 9-inch piecrust
- 8 ounces semisweet (60%) chocolate
- 2/3 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 2 cups)
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with the piecrust, gently pushing it into the edges of the pan.
- Place in the refrigerator until needed.
- In a heavy saucepan, heat 6 ounces of the chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly, until just melted.
- Stir in the corn syrup and 1/2 cup of the cream.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Place the pie shell on a baking sheet and pour the chocolate mixture into the pie shell.
- Bake until a knife inserted 1 inch from the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
- Let stand on a wire rack until completely cool; the center of the pie will sink as it cools.
- In a medium mixing bowl, place the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, the sugar, and vanilla and beat until soft peaks form.
- Spoon the whipped cream onto the center of the cooled pie.
- Top with the strawberries.
- Place the remaining 2 ounces of the chocolate in a small dish and microwave on high power just until melted, 30 to 60 seconds, stopping and stirring every 10 to 15 seconds.
- Remove from the microwave, and stir until completely melted.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries.
- Serve at room temperature.
