No-Bake French Silk Pie Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (No-Bake French Silk Pie Recipe). Famous for being both feather-light and indulgently rich at the same time, French silk pie entered the American dessert canon upon winning the Pillsbury bake-off in 1951. It's one of the only dessert recipes that calls for eggs straight from the fridge; you'll whip them with melted chocolate for quite a while before chilling the pie--but rejoice, there's no baking whatsoever!

Directions

Step 1

Grind chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl and mix in melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill crust while you make the pie filling.

Step 2

Melt chocolate in a small heatproof bowl in the microwave. Start with 1 minute stir and then return for 15 to 30 second increments until melted. Let fully cool to room temperature at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

Whip butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until smooth about 3 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract and instant coffee. Add the cooled chocolate and mix until combined.

Step 4

Add eggs one at a time whisking on medium speed for 5 minutes and scraping down the bowl after each addition. The pie filling should be fluffy and silky like chocolate mousse.

Step 5

Transfer filling into the pie crust cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 6

Beat heavy cream confectioners' sugar and vanilla on medium speed with a handheld mixer until soft peaks form.

Step 7

Top the French silk pie with the whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
