DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 450ยบ. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pie crusts and line up next to each other so they just overlap. 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, spread whipped cream all over top of pie and garnish with chocolate shavings.
