CHOCOLATE FRENCH SILK PIE (COPYCAT BAKERS SQUARE'S FRENCH SILK)
My b/f loooooooves Bakers Square French Silk pie. However, the chain has closed all of its stores in Southern California. A few Valentines days ago I tried the recipe that calls for Knox Gelatin and buttermilk - that was a disaster. This recipe which I found on bigoven.com is the closest to perfection as I have been able to find. Making sure everything is well mixed is the secret to a nice high fuffy pie.

Steps:
- First off, make the filling first. The filling will be pale in color but will darken as it chills. Put it into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. This allows it to set up and thicken a bit before adding it to the pie shell. Make your pie crust. If making a crust from scratch, follow the instructions for a fully baked pie shell as this pie will not go in the oven. Let it cool completely. Add the chilled filling to the pie crust. Put it back in the fridge while you make the whipped topping. If you are using Cool Whip, go ahead and top the pie now and refrigerate. WAIT until tomorrow to eat. You can certainly eat it after it has chilled for several hours, BUT believe me when I tell you that you will be very thankful that you waited overnight. The filling needs time to set up. Any graininess you may have detected when you tasted the filling will be gone after a good night's rest. The eggs in this recipe are not cooked. If that concerns you, you can use pasteurized eggs.
Tips:
- To make sure your French silk pie filling is smooth and creamy, use high-quality semisweet chocolate and make sure it is melted slowly and evenly. Use an electric mixer on high speed to whip the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the filling and create a light and airy texture.
- For a richer filling, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Kahlua, for extra flavor.
- If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust or even a chocolate wafer crust.
- To prevent the top of the pie from cracking, cover it with plastic wrap and chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this classic French Silk Pie recipe is sure to impress. With its creamy, chocolatey filling and flaky, buttery crust, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
