How To make French Silk Pie(2)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 9-inch chocolate crumb crust
In small bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add 1 egg and beat 5 minutes. Add remaining egg and beat 5 more minutes. Pour mixture into crust (crust must be cool) and chill until set, about 3 hours. Spread with whipped cream if desired.
Note: I wouldn't attempt this without a good stand mixer. The "silk" in the name refers to the texture, provided the filling is beaten until the sugar is *completely* dissolved. It takes a long time to cream the butter and sugar properly, and 5 minutes after each egg is a minimum.
We use a straight-sided 9 " cake pan and usually make at least 1-1/2 recipes of filling. In doing this the mixer is running almost continually for 30-40 minutes. I'm not sure it's possible to overbeat it, but I know that if
it's not beaten long enough, it's grainy.
For the crust, proceed as for a graham cracker crust, but use Nabisco chocolate wafers (don t remember the name); they re thin and crisp.

Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.
