How to Make Extremely Rich French Silk Pie
- Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Finely crush 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs using a food processor or by placing graham crackers in a ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter with 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes with an electric mixer).
- If the butter starts to separate, chill for 5-15 minutes before continuing.
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and let cool slightly.
- Add the cooled melted chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well.
- Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, beating for at least 5 minutes after each addition until smooth and creamy. Do not overmix.
- Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
- Topping:
- In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the pie filling.
- Drizzle melted chocolate syrup over the whipped cream in a decorative pattern.
- Grate 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate over the top.
- Finishing:
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
