Chocolate French Silk Pie

 

French Silk Pie is my number one, favorite pie of all time.  I really wanted to be able to make it myself but the problem I kept running into was that my homemade French Silk Pies always ended up with a gritty texture.  So annoying.

The fix for that is whisking. So much whisking.  Whisking until all of that gritty texture is gone.  This allows the sugar to saturate the butter better, making the French Silk Pie smoother and creamier!  So seriously, if you're having a hard time making your French Silk Pie smooth and creamy, just make sure to keep whisking, or else you'll end up with a gritty sandy pie!

For this recipe, you'll need a baked pie shell.  You can use store-bought. OR! You can use this amazing Easy, No-Fail Pie Crust recipe (which is what I used!)

Ingredients

  • 1 baked 9-inch pie shell
  • 12 tablespoons butter 1 ½ sticks, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate melted and cooled
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 large eggs
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and chocolate, and beat again on high until combined.
  • Add one egg at a time, beating on high for 3 minutes after adding each egg.
  • Continue whisking the mixture until it's completely smooth and creamy.
  • Scoop chocolate filling into the pie shell, and smooth out.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Top with whipped cream (I use Dream Whip because it's yummy and easy, and unlike canned whipped cream, it won't turn to liquid on you)

    Comment: As I was browsing your site - looking for a good pie crust recipe, I noticed the recipe for French Silk Pie, which I love but have never made. I was surprised to learn that other than the crust, the pie is not cooked? I would never have guessed that this pie that I love so much has raw eggs! Did I read that right? Thanks

      Yes, that's correct! Using the freshest eggs possible and keeping the pie refrigerated will help avoid contamination.

    Absolutely perfect!!!!! This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE pie. Ive always wanted to make one, but too intimidated by the raw eggs. Finally, I made this one & it was to die for. I used powdered sugar instead of granulated. It tasted just like the one at the restaurant. So pleased! Thank you

      That always means you didn't beat it long enough. You have to beat it much much longer than your average cake or cookie batter. Close to 10 minutes on high, at least.
