Chocolate Buttermilk Pie

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Place a rack in the center of the oven.

Place the chocolate chips in a double boiler and melt over low heat, stirring constantly. Place the pre-made pie crust in a pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla, salt, sugar and buttermilk, and mix with electric mixer. With a rubber spatula, gently stir the melted chocolate into the batter.

Pour batter into the pie crust. Place in oven on middle rack. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool completely. If not eating immediately, refrigerate pie.

Garnish with whipped cream just before serving.
