Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 grams Bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 units Large eggs
• 1 unit Premade or homemade pie crust
• 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
• 30 grams Powdered sugar
• 20 grams Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your pie crust: Prebake a homemade or store-bought pie crust according to its instructions. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 3

Add the melted, cooled bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add one egg to the mixture and beat for 5 minutes on medium speed. Repeat this process with the remaining eggs, adding one at a time and beating thoroughly for 5 minutes each. This helps create the silky texture.

Step 5

Once the filling is smooth and glossy, pour it into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.

Step 6

Before serving, make the whipped cream topping: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 7

Spread the whipped cream over the pie filling or pipe it decoratively on top using a piping bag.

Step 8

Optionally garnish the pie with chocolate shavings or curls for a finishing touch.

Step 9

Slice and serve your French Silk Pie chilled. Enjoy its rich, silky chocolate goodness!
