Chocolate Silk Pie Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + chilling

Yield: 6-8 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
TOPPING:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Chocolate curls, optional

Directions

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan, combine the marshmallow creme, chocolate chips, butter, unsweetened chocolate and coffee; cook and stir over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Cool. Fold in whipped cream; pour into crust.
For topping, in a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over filling. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.

How-To: For quick chocolate curls: Use a vegetable peeler to "peel" curls from a solid block of chocolate. To keep the strips intact, allow them to fall gently onto a plate or a single layer of waxed paper. If you get only shavings, your chocolate may be too hard, so warm it slightly.

I didn't change a thing. I didn't think my husband would like this pie, he is a huge chocolate pie lover of the old fashion pies made with cocoa. I was surprised he really enjoyed this pie. He liked this pie so much he ate 1/2 of the pie at one time. The pie is very easy to make and I will be keeping this receipe around for a very long time.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! A melt in your mouth, mousse-like pie that chocolate lovers will crave. I used a graham crust and made the chocolate part of the pie a day ahead. Doubled the whipped cream topping and added it the day of serving. Also served it w/ fresh sliced strawberries tossed in a small amount of sugar, on the side. Definitely a keeper and extremely easy to make!

This recipe was wonderful!! The only thing I would suggest would be to refridgerate the pie without the topping before adding topping. The topping is very heavy and tends to sink into the filling. Other than that, this recipes is great:)

This is the best chocolate pie I have ever made! I made it as described in the recipe. I have never done my pie crust in the manner described, but it did turn out perfect, even without pricking the crust.

Wow! This is the best chocolate pie EVER! I used 8oz of semisweet chocolate chips and left out the unsweetened chocolate because that's what I had on hand, and it was great! I would recommend pricking the pie crust before baking, though, because mine bubbled up. Other than that, this is a GREAT recipe!

Made this for a dinner with the family. My mom loved it! Better yet...my son who doesn't care for chocolate (usually two bites) ate the whole slice!! And I agree, the coffee brings out the chocolate flavor. I didn't use real strong coffee and maybe that makes a difference.
