  • 4 pasteurized eggs*
  • Sweetened whipped cream, finely chopped chocolate chips or crushed peppermint candies, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 450°F. Make pie crust as directed on box for One-Crust Baked Shell, using 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

    In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips 30 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second increments until chocolate is melted; cool.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    *Pasteurized eggs are uncooked eggs that have been heat-treated to kill bacteria that can cause food poisoning and gastrointestinal distress. Because the eggs in this recipe are not cooked, be sure to use pasteurized eggs. They can be found in the dairy case at large supermarkets.
