How To make Today's French Silk Pie
1 c Whipping cream
6 oz Semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1/3 c Butter
1/3 c Sugar
2 Egg yolks; beaten
3 tb Creme de cacao
Or whipping cream 1 Baked 8-9inch pastry shell
Whipped cream Or pressurized whipped Dessert topping (optional) Chocolate curls Or miniature chocolate pcs TODAY'S FRENCH SILK PIE - Through the years, one major change has been made to this famous recipe: the pie now has a COOKED filling to guard against possible food poisoning associated with raw eggs. Yet, the silky richness of the original recipe still remains. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine the 1 cup whipping cream, chocolate pieces, butter and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, till chocolate is melted. This should take about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Gradually stir about half of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Return egg mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, till mixture is slightly thickened and NEARLY bubbly. This should take 3 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. (Mixture may appear
to separate.) Stir in creme de cacao or whipping cream. Place saucepan in a bowl of ice water; stir occasionally till mixture stiffens and becomes hard to stir (20 minutes). Transfer chocolate mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Beat the cooled chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on Medium to High speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Spread filling in a baked pastry shell. Cover and chill pie about 5 hours or until set, or for up to 24 hours. At serving time, top each serving with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate curls or miniature chocolate pieces, if desired. -----

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.
