1
Prepare the Pie Crust
If using a store-bought pie crust, follow the package instructions to prepare. If making homemade, roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
2
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add cocoa powder and mix until well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
3
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
4
Assemble the Pie
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
5
Garnish and Serve
Before serving, garnish the top of the pie with chocolate shavings or curls. Slice and enjoy your delicious French Silk Pie!
