  2. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the base.
  3. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt it gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.

  6. Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
  7. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm and set, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to develop.
  8. Once chilled, slice the pie with a sharp knife, revealing the rich, velvety interior contrasted by the crumbly crust.

Notes

For added flavor, sprinkle sea salt or chili flakes on top before serving. The pie can be decorated with chocolate shavings or chopped nuts for extra texture.
