Cómo preparar French Silk Pie Cooked
- In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk about 1/2 of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper them, ensuring the eggs don't scramble.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly thickened and almost bubbly – about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Place the saucepan in a bowl filled with ice water, stirring occasionally, until the mixture stiffens and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
- Beat the cooled chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Pour the filling into a prepared 9-inch baked pastry shell.
- Cover and chill the pie for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set. Best served within 24 hours, but will last 3-4 days if stored properly in the refrigerator.
- Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
