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.

Tasted like a Hershey bar dipped in whipped cream!! So good will make again. Take the effort to make the whipped cream and double it.

This pie is delicious! Blows any Baker Square's French Silk Pie away! You do not taste the coffee. It just enhances the chocolate. Will make and make and make again!!

Scrumptious pie! Very easy to put together. I did sub a graham cracker crust. Also the two tablespoons of coffee did not come through as a coffee taste in the pie to me. Thanks for the recipe TOH and Hershey's!

Well for those of you who substituted the coffee.... BAD CHOICE... the coffee brings out the flavor of the chocolate. 2 tablespoons of coffee would NEVER take over the flavor of the chocolate.... so it doesn't taste like a coffee pie. It taste wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made this pie for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! I left out the coffee and used an oreo cookie crust. Was very good and will make it for Christmas.

Not a huge coffee fan, I tweeked this recipe a bit and substituted some vanilla and water for the coffee. It was quite delicious! The pie was light and fluffy and extremely simple to make!

Was surprised at how strong the coffee flavor was when I made this - and I am a huge coffee fan! The flavor intensified as the pie chilled. Will certainly make again, as it got rave reviews with my Bunko group.
