French Silk Pie

I have made this recipe at least 10 times, I usually don’t go back to recipes because I like trying new things. But this French Silk Pie… it is perfection! It is also really easy which is a huge plus. If you have never had a French Silk Pie, it truly lives up to its name. The chocolate filling is SO silky, my husband described it as “feathery” haha! It is a very rich dessert but because it is so silky smooth you can accidentally eat more than you planned haha

Directions:

1. In small saucepan, whisk sugar and eggs until blended. Cook over low heat until mixture reaches 160ºF.
2. Remove from heat, add chocolate and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
3. In stand mixer, cream butter until light and fluffy.
4. Add cooled chocolate mixture and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
5. In another bowl, beat cream on high until it begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Add powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks.
7. Fold into chocolate mixture.
8. Pour into cooled pie crust.
9. Garnish with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
10. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 4 hours or overnight.
