French Silk Pie

This recipe is from my girl, Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, and I am making it tomorrow for my friend, Emily's birthday!!!
(makes 1 pie)

1 chocolate pie crust*
4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
1&1/2 cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) salted Kerrygold* butter
1 t. vanilla extract
4 cold eggs
Whipped cream
Piece of milk* chocolate, for grating

In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the baking chocolate until stirrable (about 45 sec. on high). Set aside to cool. It is important for the bowl and ingredients to be cold for the next stage of making the filling - to get the right texture and result. In a large chilled bowl with an electric mixer beat the sugar and butter til fluffy, 1-2 min. When the melted chocolate is cooled, drizzle it all over the butter/sugar mixture. Add the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture thoroughly until combined. Turn your mixer to a med. speed and over a period of 15 to 20 min., add in the 4 cold eggs, one at a time. leaving about 5 min. between each egg addition. Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the pie shell, scraping every last speck out of it. Smooth out the pie filling and place pie in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Preferably longer. Cover pie with a thick layer of whipped cream. Top with chocolate curls.
