Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2.5 cups heavy whipping cream (divided)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.25 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup optional whipped cream for topping
- 1 tablespoon optional chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the cooled melted chocolate and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until smooth and completely combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on high speed for 2-3 minutes after each addition. This step ensures the filling becomes light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
Pour the mixture into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks and spread it over the top of the pie, if desired.
Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving. Slice and enjoy your Fluffy Chocolate Silk Pie!
