Bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking, then reduce heat and simmer, whisking, 1 minute (filling will be thick).
Remove from heat, then whisk in chocolates, butter and vanilla.
Cover and cool.

Spoon filling into crust and chill pie, loosely covered, at least 4 hours.
Top with whipped cream or sweetened sour cream.
