Description
This is a beautiful, fluffy French silk Pie. Garnishing it with extra whipped cream and chocolate curls makes it fabulous! I recently made one for a pie auction and it sold for $65.00! Yes, it really is that tasty. I’ve been making this pie by memory for years, so I have no idea of the recipe’s origin. For a higher, more impressive pie, whip 1 extra cup of whipping cream and add it to the top of the pie, before garnishing with shaved chocolate.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons shaved dark chocolate, or to taste
- 1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
Instructions
- Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until well blended. Stir in milk gradually. Turn heat to medium and stir constantly until boiling. Remove from heat.
- Add chocolate chips and vanilla extract to the hot milk mixture; stir until smooth and chocolate chips have melted. Transfer into a large mixing bowl
- cover with plastic wrap
- and place on the counter until cooled to room temperature.
- Meanwhile
- combine 2 cups whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Uncover cooled chocolate mixture and beat with clean beater attachments until light and fluffy. Gently fold 1/2 of the whipped cream mixture into the chocolate mixture
- being careful not to overmix. Spoon into pie crust and top with remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate until firm
- 2 to 3 hours. Serve.
