How To make French Silk Pie(1)
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter (*not* margarine)
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate -- melted and cooled
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
1 9-inch baked pastry shell
Unsweetened whipped cream (optional) chocolate curls (optional)
In a small mixer bowl, cream sugar and butter about 4 minutes until fluffy. Stir in cooled chocolate and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed of electric mixer after each addition and scraping sides of bowl constantly. Turn into baked pastry shell. Chill several hours or overnight till set.

Notes: I've never made this but I have heard that you must use butter. Also, I've been told it helps if the ingredients are chilled (like the butter, the bowl, beaters, etc).

Get the full recipe from Delish:
INGREDIENTS
All-purpose flour, for surface
1 box refrigerated pie crust
2 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
20 oz. bittersweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
8 large pasteurized eggs
16 oz. whipped topping, divided
Whipped cream, for piping
Chocolate shavings, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 450º. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pie crusts and stack on top of each other. Roll out in a rectangle large enough for a 15-x-10 sheet pan. Place crust into sheet pan and crimp sides. Prick bottom and sides with a fork and bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool while you make the filling.
2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Turn mixer on low and drizzle melted chocolate into butter and sugar mixture. Add vanilla and salt and beat mixture until combined.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating a few minutes between each addition. After 15 minutes of beating, filling should be completely silky and smooth with no grittiness. (If mixture seems to be melting instead of whipping, let chill in fridge 30 minutes and whip again until fluffy.)
5. Pour into baked crust and smooth top. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours and up to overnight.
6. Before serving, pipe whipped cream all over top of pie and garnish with chocolate shavings.
