Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate Filling

    In a medium mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa powder and mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Chill the Filling

    Once the filling is smooth and creamy, pour it into the pre-baked pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

  4. 4

    Make the Whipped Cream Topping

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

  5. 5

    Top the Pie

    Once the pie filling is set, spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie. Optionally, you can sprinkle some chocolate shavings on top for garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious French Silk Pie!
