Description

Smooth and decadent, French Silk Pie is a chocolate lovers dream! You’ll love the flaky pie crust, topped with rich chocolate and whipped cream!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 box refrigerated pie crust (for one pie)
  • 4 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate (100% cacao)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare pie crust according to package directions (for a single crust pie). Allow pie crust to cool.
  2. In a small microwave bowl, melt baking chocolate on high heat for one minute. Stir and heat again in 15 second intervals until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large saucepan over low heat, add eggs with sugar. Whisk over low heat until the temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Do not over heat.
  4. Remove from heat and add in the cooled, melted chocolate. Beat for about 5 minutes. Set this aside.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the chocolate mixture with the vanilla extract. Beat just until fully combined.
  6. Pour into the cooled pie crust.
  7. Beat the heavy cream for 3 minutes until it begins to form stiff peaks. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy! Spread over the top of the chocolate filling. Refrigerate pie for at least two hours (or overnight).
  8. For the chocolate curls (or pieces), melt chocolate chips in microwave dish for one minute. Stir until smooth. Spread over a large piece of parchment paper, until very thin. Roll parchment paper up into a tube shape. Refrigerate until ready to add the garnish, at least 30 minutes. Unroll parchment paper and the pieces will break off into shards. Place on top of pie when ready to serve.
