How To make French Silk Pie(2)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 9-inch chocolate crumb crust
In small bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add 1 egg and beat 5 minutes. Add remaining egg and beat 5 more minutes. Pour mixture into crust (crust must be cool) and chill until set, about 3 hours. Spread with whipped cream if desired.
Note: I wouldn't attempt this without a good stand mixer. The "silk" in the name refers to the texture, provided the filling is beaten until the sugar is *completely* dissolved. It takes a long time to cream the butter and sugar properly, and 5 minutes after each egg is a minimum.
We use a straight-sided 9 " cake pan and usually make at least 1-1/2 recipes of filling. In doing this the mixer is running almost continually for 30-40 minutes. I'm not sure it's possible to overbeat it, but I know that if
it's not beaten long enough, it's grainy.
For the crust, proceed as for a graham cracker crust, but use Nabisco chocolate wafers (don t remember the name); they re thin and crisp.

???? Chocolate Silk Pie
1 9-inch pie crust
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
8 ounces 64% semisweet chocolate
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
5 tablespoon powdered sugar
Whipped cream for garnish
Shaved chocolate for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 F. Roll pie dough to a 1/8-inch thick circle and fit into a 9-inch pie pan. Cut extra dough and crimp edge and pierce that pie with a fork. Cover top of pie with foil and add baking weight or beans to blind bake. Bake crust with foil for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown all over. Set aside to cool.
For the filling bring 2 inches of water to boil in the bottom of a double boiler. Whisk together eggs and sugar and place over double boiler on medium heat, whisking until the mixture reaches 165 F. Remove from heat and allow to cool until just warm.
Chop the chocolate and place in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until smooth (you can use a double boiler instead of a microwave).
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until fluffy. With the mixer on low, slowly add in chocolate mixture. Pour egg mixture over chocolate mixture and whisk to combined, add it to the standing mixture and beat for 5 minutes.
In a clean bowl, beat together cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Add remaining whipped cream and gently fold until no streaks of cream remain. Pour filling into crust making sure top is leveled. Refrigerate until set. Top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Enjoy!

Magnolia Table Vol. 2 French Silk Pie Recipe
Calling all CHOCOLATE LOVERS! This isn’t your average chocolate pie. This pie is INCREDIBLE! The first time I made this pie, I fell in love. It’s simply chocolate heaven.
Joanna Gaines knew what she was doing when she created this delicious recipe because it stands up to its name...SILK (Y) ❤️
I used a cookie crust instead of a pie crust because...why not!? I substituted the shaved chocolate topping with mini chocolate chips and feel free to use store bought whip cream with this recipe! It’ll taste just as delicious.
If you love this recipe, I highly recommend the recipe book this came in, Magnolia Table Cookbook Vol. 2 by Joanna Gaines.
