Preparation Steps
- Combine 1 cup softened unsalted butter with ½ cup sugar until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups flour, mixing until dough forms. Roll to ¼ inch thick, fit into 9-inch pie dish, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove chilled crust, prick bottom with fork, and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine 8 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate with 1 cup heavy cream. Melt gently, stirring until smooth. Let cool, then whisk in 3 beaten eggs.
- Pour chocolate filling into pre-baked pie crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in center.
- Remove pie from oven and cool on wire rack for at least 1 hour. You can refrigerate for another hour for extra firmness.
- Decorate with colorful Easter egg chocolates, arranging them evenly for a festive appearance. Add decorations right before serving.
- Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Melt chocolate carefully to avoid burning. Cool pie completely before slicing to prevent runny filling. Store covered in the fridge up to 3 days.
