You might know that I LOVE pie. Here is another great pie for your Thanksgiving dinner! My daughter made this for us as a pre-Thanksgiving treat. Easy and delicious. She used a store-bought crust, and we both decided we like homemade better!
French Silk Chocolate Pie
Ingredients
- 4 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 3 cups whipped cream
- 1 chocolate bar to shave or crush on the top
For the filling:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 4 Tbs. melted butter
For pie crust:
Instructions
- Heat chocolate in microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between until chocolate is completely melted. Let cool for about 10 minutes until it is room temperature.
- Make pie shell by pulsing the Oreo cookies in a blender (filling too) until fine crumbs. Add melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
- Cream together butter and sugar. Gradually add the melted, cooled chocolate. Beat on medium-low speed with a mixer until combined. Add vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add one egg and beat for 5 minutes on medium speed. Repeat, adding each egg one by one and beating for 5 minutes after each egg.
- Pour the filling into the Oreo crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Top with desired amount of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings. (This uses raw eggs. Consume at your own risk.)
