How to Make Valerie's Perfected French Silk Pie

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened (but not melted) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes using a stand mixer or 8-10 minutes by hand).
  2. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons of water. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  3. Add 4 large eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well for at least 2 minutes after each addition to ensure proper emulsification. Use a stand mixer or beat vigorously by hand.
  4. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the mixture immediately into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
  7. Before serving, top with freshly whipped cream (about 1 cup) and sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds (approximately ¼ cup).
