Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0 as desired Chocolate shavings or curls (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
On low speed, mix in the cooled melted chocolate and pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and add eggs one at a time. Beat the mixture for 5 minutes after each egg is added (20 minutes total for 4 eggs). This step is crucial for achieving the silky texture of the pie.
Step 5
Transfer the chocolate mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, to set.
Step 6
To prepare the whipped cream topping, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
Step 7
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls, if desired.
Step 8
Slice, serve, and enjoy the decadence of Kelly's French Silk Chocolate Pie!
