How To make Today's French Silk Pie
1 c Whipping cream
6 oz Semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1/3 c Butter
1/3 c Sugar
2 Egg yolks; beaten
3 tb Creme de cacao
Or whipping cream 1 Baked 8-9inch pastry shell
Whipped cream Or pressurized whipped Dessert topping (optional) Chocolate curls Or miniature chocolate pcs TODAY'S FRENCH SILK PIE - Through the years, one major change has been made to this famous recipe: the pie now has a COOKED filling to guard against possible food poisoning associated with raw eggs. Yet, the silky richness of the original recipe still remains. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine the 1 cup whipping cream, chocolate pieces, butter and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, till chocolate is melted. This should take about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Gradually stir about half of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Return egg mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, till mixture is slightly thickened and NEARLY bubbly. This should take 3 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. (Mixture may appear
to separate.) Stir in creme de cacao or whipping cream. Place saucepan in a bowl of ice water; stir occasionally till mixture stiffens and becomes hard to stir (20 minutes). Transfer chocolate mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Beat the cooled chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on Medium to High speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Spread filling in a baked pastry shell. Cover and chill pie about 5 hours or until set, or for up to 24 hours. At serving time, top each serving with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate curls or miniature chocolate pieces, if desired. -----

1/4 tsp instant espresso powder (optional, but intensifies the chocolate flavor)
4 large eggs, room temperature (*use pasteurized eggs to eliminate risk of foodborne illness)

Chocolate french silk pie is an incredibly rich chocolate pie with a chocolate mousse filling and a whipped cream topping. The filling is intensely chocolate in flavor and is very rich from the high ratio of butter and eggs in the mousse.
Traditional french silk pie is made with a classic pie crust which is what I prefer. I think the contrast of the salty crust is perfect with the rich filling. However, if you prefer, you can use a graham cracker crust or an oreo crust.
This pie is always a showstopper! I bring this along to most holiday gatherings and it is always the most popular dessert offered!
