Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Make your pie crust, or use a store bought one. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork in several places.

Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 325 degrees. Melt butter and semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. 

Mix well and remove from heat. Combine sugar and eggs in a medium bowl. 

Beat with mixer on medium speed until ribbons form (when you stop and lift beaters the mixture will drip in ‘ribbons’). 

Add vanilla. In a small bowl mix flour and cocoa thoroughly. Using a firm spatula fold melted chocolate into egg mixture. 

Add flour mixture and stir until just blended. Pour into your pie crust. Place on a baking sheet. 

Bake for 50 minutes until pie is puffed and has cracks all over. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. 

Put a 10” piece of parchment paper on top and place a large plate on its surface. Refrigerate overnight. 

Remove from refrigerator about 20 minutes before serving.
