FRENCH SILK PIE
Delicious, creamy, and decadent French silk pie! This recipe is unique since it requires the eggs to be cooked rather than a traditional French silk pie recipe that uses raw eggs. To make things easier, use a frozen store-bought deep-dish pie crust! Garnish with fresh whipped cream and chocolate curls. Cover remaining pie with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Brush beaten egg over all surfaces of pie crust, including edges. Prick holes into the bottom and sides of the crust using a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Combine sugar and 2 eggs in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously, adjusting heat as needed to make sure mixture does not boil or bubble, until it coats the back of a spoon and an instant-read thermometer reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
- Remove mixture from heat and stir in melted chocolate and vanilla extract; allow to cool to lukewarm temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Beat butter in a separate large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add chocolate mixture and continue to beat on high speed until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until slightly thick. Add powdered sugar all at once and continue to beat on medium to medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture, stirring very gently as to not decrease the volume by stirring too much. Pour into the prepared pie crust and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the taste of your pie. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
- Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from seizing.
- Use a food processor to make the crust: A food processor makes it easy to get a fine, even crumb for your crust.
- Chill the pie before serving: Chilling the pie helps to set the filling and make it easier to slice.
- Garnish the pie with whipped cream or berries: A dollop of whipped cream or a few fresh berries add a touch of elegance to your pie.

Sarah's Secret Chocolate Silk Pie is a decadent and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate filling and creamy whipped cream topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
