French Chocolate Silk Pie Recipe

I recently encountered a Pinterest outage. It was linked to an Amazon Web Service outage. I have always heavily relied on Pinterest. To you, it’s a place where you go to get inspiration, ideas, and make plans for upcoming events or holidays.

For me, it’s a platform to promote my recipe links with a great deal of strategy, patience, keyword research, scheduling, and testing.

I will never forget the day Pinterest emailed little ‘ole me to offer a consultation by webinar. I was overjoyed! I was able to connect with them in a way most people aren’t able to. (Pinterest is similar to Google – you can’t just call them on the phone with your questions. It always takes a lot of time and research on my own in place of traditional customer service.) It was such a productive session, I really felt like Pinterest cares about both sides of the coin. They want to make sure bloggers are successful and can deliver the content their visitors are looking for – they want everyone to win!

Speaking of which, everyone will love this French Silk Pie! If you are looking for more pie recipes, I think you’d love No Bake Snickers Pie, No Bake Coconut Cream Pie, Fluffernutter Pie, Oreo Dirt Pie, or Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, too!

What You’ll Need for the Pie:

• 1 Oreo Crust
• 1 1/3 cups Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 8 oz Baking Chocolate, Melted
• 2 tsp Vanilla
• 10 tbsp Butter, Softened
• 1 1/3 cups Heavy Cream
• 4 tsp Powdered Sugar

And the Topping:

• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla

How to Make French Silk Pie

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 1 1/3 cups sugar and 4 eggs.
• Whisk constantly until the mixture reaches 160 degrees and coats the back of a metal spoon.
• Remove from heat and stir in 8 oz melted baking chocolate and 2 tsp vanilla until smooth.
• Set aside and cool until the mixture reaches 75 degrees, stirring occasionally.
• Beat 10 tbsp softened butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the cooled chocolate mixture, then beat on high speed for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
• In a separate small bowl, beat 1 1/3 cups heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add in 4 tsp powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture.
• Transfer the mixture to the Oreo pie crust. The pie will be tall and full with the filling.
• Chill in the refrigerator until firm.
• Once firm, beat together 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until it begins to thicken and stiff peaks form.
• Spread over the top of the pie.
