Categories     dessert

Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Pie Crust (I use store-bought)
1 1/2 sticks Butter (at room temperature)
3/4 cup plus 1/3 cup Sugar
4 ounces German Sweet Chocolate
1 teaspoon Vanilla
4 Large Eggs
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla

Steps:

  • Bake your pie crust. I always buy the pre-made frozen pie crusts from the freezer section. These come with disposable pie pans - which is perfect when you are bringing the pie to a party. Melt the chocolate in either a double boiler or the microwave. Don't overheat the chocolate. Set the chocolate aside and let it cool down a bit. You will be adding eggs to this chocolate, and you don't want to accidentally scramble them. Combine the butter and sugar in an electric mixer. Blend in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat at medium speed for a least five minutes after adding each egg. Continue until all 4 eggs have been added. Pour the filling into a serving dish (if you are serving it as pudding), or the pie crust. Chill until the pie has set - about 3 hours. Combine the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form and the cream has thickened. Then top the pie with the whipped cream.

Time 8h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 unbaked Flaky Pie Crust (what I used) or All Butter Pie Crust*
egg wash for pie crust: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon milk or heavy cream
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
two 4-ounce quality bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate bars (113g each), finely chopped*
4 large eggs
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar*
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional for garnish: chocolate curls*

Steps:

  • I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin making this pie. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking (next step).
  • On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (use the 2nd pie crust for another recipe!). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is completely smooth. To make a lovely thick edge, I do not trim excess dough around the edges. Instead, fold the excess dough back over the edge and use your hands to mold the edge into a nice thick rim around the pie. Crimp the edges with a fork or use your fingers to flute the edges. Carefully line the inside of the pie with two pieces of parchment paper or aluminum foil, as shown in the photos above, then pour in the pie weights. Make sure the weights are evenly distributed around the pie dish. Chill the dough in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes- this helps prevent the crust from shrinking. (You can actually fill with pie weights before or after chilling, it doesn't make a difference.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Bake the cold pie crust (with weights!) for 15 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and carefully lift the parchment paper/aluminum foil (with the weights) out of the pie. Prick all over the bottom of the pie crust with a fork, which is called "docking" the pie crust and helps prevent air bubbles. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash. Return the crust to the oven and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 more minutes.
  • Cool pie crust completely. You can do this up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover cooled crust tightly and refrigerate until ready to fill.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Stiff peaks hold their peak shape and do not droop. Set whipped cream in the refrigerator (covered or uncovered, doesn't matter) until step 8. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate. You can melt it in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stopping and stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Set aside until the end of the next step.
  • Whisk eggs and sugar together in a heatproof bowl or the top piece of a double boiler. Place over a pot of simmering water (or the bottom part of your double boiler) on medium heat. Do not let the surface of simmering water touch the bottom of the heatproof bowl. Whisking constantly, cook the egg mixture until it reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant read thermometer, about 10-11 minutes. Do not stop whisking or the eggs may solidify. If the steam gets too hot over your hand, use an oven mitt. Carefully remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. After cooling, slowly stir in the melted chocolate. To prevent curdling, cool for another 10 minutes before using in the next step.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl. With the mixer running on low speed, pour in the chocolate/egg mixture and then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped cream until combined.
  • Spread filling into cooled pie crust. (A small offset spatula is helpful for this.) Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until chilled and thickened. Pie may be refrigerated for up to 2 days before serving.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Medium peaks are between soft/loose peaks and stiff peaks and are the perfect consistency for topping and piping on desserts. Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top. Garnish with chocolate curls (see notes), if desired. Serve immediately or chill the pie uncovered up to a few hours.
  • Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

CHOCOLATE SILK PIE



Chocolate Silk Pie image

Light yet rich, this magical dessert is like the grown-up version of the chocolate pudding pie of your youth. It requires a bit more work, but nothing terribly taxing. Just whip melted chocolate, butter and eggs into a mousse, and then pour it all into a chocolate cookie crust. Chill and enjoy. It's the perfect make-ahead dessert for a crowd.

Time 2h15m

Yield About 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups ground chocolate wafers (from about 30 cookies)
1/3 cup sugar
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the chocolate crumbs and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and stir until well mixed. Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture, then press the rest into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the filling: Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the salt, vanilla and brandy, if using. Add the chocolate and mix well. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Scrape the filling into the pie shell and sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set. Cut into wedges and serve.
