CHOCOLATE SILK PIE 
1 unbaked single pie crust
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (1stick) butter
1 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 eggs
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In large, microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter at 50% power for 2 minutes until butter is melted; stir until smooth, Whisk in salt, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla extract, whisk until well blended. Pour chocolate mixture into crust.

Bake 30 minutes or until filling has puffed, but center still wiggles. Cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Garnish with shipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.

Notes: Try baking pie shell 8 minutes in preheated 350 degree oven before filling shell. I have used half Splenda and half sugar with good results.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

This is a GREAT recipe. I am not a regular cook, and i made this for Thanksgiving. Now the family always asks me to make it. I have made it about 5 times now. Anyone know how long you can freeze these? :)

Delicious pie, but we had to bake it for 50 minutes before it was done. Super easy and my kids loved it!

Needed a one shell pie recipe and saw that I had all the ingredients for this. Now I'm sitting here listening to my taste testers on the other room saying that it tastes like more.
Sounds like a winner to me.
