Ingredients Needed

• 4 oz Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
• 1 cup Salted Butter, softened (2 sticks)
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) Granulated Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 4 Large Eggs
• 1 Pre-Baked 9-inch Pie Shel

How To Make French Silk Pie​

1. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 oz of unsweetened baking chocolate for about 45 seconds on high. Stir until smooth and let it cool completely.
2. Cream the butter and sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup of softened butter with 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Add chocolate and vanilla: Drizzle the cooled melted chocolate into the butter-sugar mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
4. Incorporate the eggs: With the mixer on medium speed, add 4 eggs, one at a time. Beat for 5 minutes after each egg addition (a total of 15-20 minutes).
5. Fill the pie shell: Pour the prepared filling into the pre-baked pie shell. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
7. Garnish and serve: Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate curls, if desired.

Recipe Tips

• Cool the chocolate completely: Hot chocolate can melt the butter and ruin the texture. Let it cool until it’s room temperature before mixing.
• Use room-temperature butter: Soft butter blends better with sugar, making the filling smooth and fluffy.
• Beat the eggs thoroughly: Take your time to beat each egg for 5 minutes. This makes the filling light and silky.
• Use a pre-baked pie shell: Ensure your pie shell is completely baked and cooled to avoid a soggy crust.
• Chill for at least 2 hours: The pie needs time in the fridge to set. Don’t skip this step, or the filling will be too soft.
