Valentine’s Day French Silk Pie

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup salted butter melted

Chocolate Pie Filling

  • 4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs large

Whipped Topping

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust

  1. Mix ingredients until well blended . Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate.
  2. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Allow to cool before using.

Chocolate Pie Filling

  1. Melt chocolate and allow to cool. Place butter and sugar in a large bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Drizzle cooled chocolate over the butter/sugar mixture.
  2. Switch to whisk attachment. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add eggs one at a time at five minute intervals, beating continuously on medium speed for 20 minutes total. Pour filling into the cooled pie shell and smooth the top. Chill for at least 2 hours.

Whipped Topping

  1. Chill a metal mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Place sugar and cream into the bowl. Whisk just until the cream reaches stiff peaks. If desired, separate out 3/4 cup of whipped cream and add food coloring.
  3. Top pie (first with the colored whipped cream in a thin layer, then the plain) and serve immediately, or chill whipped topping until ready to serve and beat for 10 minutes before topping the pie. Garnish as desired with seasonal sprinkles or chocolate curls.
