FRENCH SILK PIE
I first made French silk pie when I was in high school. Years later, I tinkered with the recipe until I was happy with it. Now it's one of my husband's favorites. -Lisa Francis, Elba, Alabama

FRENCH SILK PIE W/MERINGUE CRUST
Using meringue for the crust on this French silk pie really made it special. Adding pecans gives the meringue a nutty flavor and crunch that's fantastic. The pie itself is silky smooth and full of chocolate goodness. I think I'm going to try out the meringue crust on other pies too!

Steps:
- 1. For meringue crust, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla on high speed until foamy. Then, while still beating, gradually add sugar, beating after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until whites are glossy and stand in peaks. If using, stir in nuts.
- 2. Spread mixture on bottom and sides of a generously greased 9" pie plate (or a parchment paper lined pie plate) with the back of a spoon.
- 3. Bake at 225 degrees for 1 hour. Turn off oven and let crust dry in oven w/door closed for an hour.
- 4. French Silk Filling: Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and beat until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in melted chocolate and vanilla. Pour into cooled crust.
- 5. Whip cream until peaks and then beat in sugar to sweeten. Cover the chocolate filling with whipped cream. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings, chocolate curls, ground chocolate or ground pecans. Refrigerate a couple of hours or overnight. Keep any leftovers refrigerated.
FRENCH SILK PIE
Delicious, creamy, and decadent French silk pie! This recipe is unique since it requires the eggs to be cooked rather than a traditional French silk pie recipe that uses raw eggs. To make things easier, use a frozen store-bought deep-dish pie crust! Garnish with fresh whipped cream and chocolate curls. Cover remaining pie with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Brush beaten egg over all surfaces of pie crust, including edges. Prick holes into the bottom and sides of the crust using a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Combine sugar and 2 eggs in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously, adjusting heat as needed to make sure mixture does not boil or bubble, until it coats the back of a spoon and an instant-read thermometer reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
- Remove mixture from heat and stir in melted chocolate and vanilla extract; allow to cool to lukewarm temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Beat butter in a separate large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add chocolate mixture and continue to beat on high speed until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until slightly thick. Add powdered sugar all at once and continue to beat on medium to medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture, stirring very gently as to not decrease the volume by stirring too much. Pour into the prepared pie crust and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Crush the crackers in a food processor or resealable bag. Pour them into a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press into a pie pan and bake until golden and set, 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- For the filling: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the baking chocolate until stirrable (about 45 seconds on high). Set aside to cool.
- It is important for the bowl and ingredients to be cold for the next stage of making the filling--to get the right texture and result. In a large chilled bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and butter until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- When the melted chocolate is cooled, drizzle it over the butter/sugar mixture. Add the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture thoroughly until combined (on a stand mixer, you will be using the whisk attachment).
- Turn your mixer to a medium speed and over a period of 15 to 20 minutes, add in the 4 cold eggs, one at a time, leaving about 5 minutes between each egg addition. Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shell, scraping every last speck of it out of the bowl. Smooth out the pie filling and place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours (preferably longer).
- For the topping: Add the heavy cream and sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until it is stiff. Cover the pies with a thick layer of cream. Grate the semisweet chocolate over the top.
