Chocolate Silk Pie

3 oz unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup butter softened (not melted)
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean (SOAK the night before in cup of water to rehydrate if neccesary)
3/4 cup eggs or frozen egg product

Melt chocolate and a tbsp of the butter in pan over low heat. (I find the butter help it melt easier, not stick to the pan, and it is easier to remove from the pan.) Remove from heat.
Beat the remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Add sugar slowly, beating until light and fluffy.
Blend in cooled chocolate and vanilla bean scrapings. (If you don't know how to use a vanilla bean check youtube or do a search online. I had to watch a "how to" the first time.)
Add egg product 1/4 cup at a time. Beating at high speed 2 min each time. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Pour into cooled pie shell. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Do not leave in a warm car forgotten for 45 min. You will end up having more of a chocolate pudding pie. lol Still good enough to lick the pan clean though.
