Prepare the Crust: Combine all Crust ingredients in a bowl and press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, cream together the Butter and Sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the Vanilla Extract.
Gradually add the melted Chocolate, mixing until well combined.
Beat in the Eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beating for at least 5 minutes after the last egg is added is crucial for a light texture.
Stir in the Salt.
Pour the Filling into the chilled Crust.
Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set.
Garnish with Shaved Chocolate before serving.
