**Ingredients:**
For the crust:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
– 6-8 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 4 large eggs
– Whipped cream, for topping
– Chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. For the crust: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork until the dough holds together when pressed. Divide the dough in half and shape each into a rectangle.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one rectangle to fit the bottom of a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and press onto the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
