This Chocolate Silk Pie Recipe is the most decadent, rich chocolate silk pie you will ever have! I was searching for a chocolate silk pie recipe like the one my Nana would get from Baker’s Square (RIP) in the 90s. It had whipped cream and chocolate curls on top. I came across this recipe on Pioneer Woman’s site and have been making it for years! It’s always the first pie gone. I love that I can make it the day before Thanksgiving and keep it in the refrigerator. My daughters love to help me make the chocolate curls too!
I use a regular pie crust because that’s what I like and that’s how Baker’s Square used to do. I really like the Trader Joe’s pie crust in the freezer section. You could also do an Oreo or graham cracker crust if you wanted. Because this Chocolate Silk Pie is so rich, I like to make the homemade whipped cream with less sugar than I usually do.
Chocolate Silk Pie Ingredients
- 1 package pie crust, baked
- 4 ounces Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
- 1 cup Salted Butter, Softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
This chocolate silk pie does have raw eggs in it, so use your own best judgement when deciding whether or not to partake.
Chocolate Silk Pie Instructions
In small microwave safe bowl, melt 4 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate until you’re able to stir it (about 45 seconds on high). Set aside to cool.
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of salted butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
When the melted chocolate has cooled, drizzle it over the butter and sugar mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat the mixture thoroughly until combined.
Turn your mixer to medium speed and over a period of 15 to 20 minutes, add in the four eggs one at a time, leaving 5 minutes between each egg addition.
Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shell. Smooth out the pie filling and place pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours (preferably longer).
Spread homemade whipped cream on top and garnish with chocolate curls or chocolate sprinkles. Enjoy!
