Chocolate Silk Pie
Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 25 oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 ⅓ cup sugar
Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 10 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate curls for garnish
Instructions
Crust
- Place your Oreos in a food processor or blender and pulse until the cookies turn to a fine crumb.
- Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large mixing bowl and mix in the melted butter.
- Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, making sure to bring the crust up the sides of the pie pan.
- Place your crust into the refrigerator for one hour to allow the crust to set.
Filling
- Prepare a double boiler by filling a pot with 2 to 3 inches of water and a glass or metal bowl over the pot.
- Bring the water up to a simmer and add your eggs and sugar into the bowl, constantly whisking the mixture until it reaches 150°F. Take the bowl off of the pot and set it aside.
- Place your bittersweet chocolate and butter in another heat-safe bowl.
- Place the bowl over your simmering pot of water and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk your egg mixture into the melted chocolate. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes to allow the mixture to cool.
- Place the chocolate mixture into your mixer bowl. With the whisk attachment, start the mixer on low speed for one to two minutes until the chocolate mixture begins to thicken, and slowly increase the speed to medium-high speed. Continue to whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
- In another mixing bowl, whip your heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to medium peaks.
- Fold half of the whipped cream into the whipped chocolate mixture. Fill the pie crust with the chocolate mixture and spread it in an even layer. Place the pie in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate filling to set.
- Top the pie with the remaining whipped cream and garnish with the chocolate curls.
Notes
- This Chocolate Silk Pie features a rich Oreo crust that perfectly complements its ultra-smooth, mousse-like filling.
- Gently heating the eggs and sugar ensures a silky texture while keeping the filling safe and creamy.
- Melted bittersweet chocolate and butter create a deep, luxurious chocolate base that becomes light and fluffy once whipped.
- Folding in freshly whipped cream adds an airy finish that melts in your mouth with every bite.
- Chilling the pie allows the filling to set beautifully while enhancing its decadent flavor.
- Finished with swirls of whipped cream and chocolate curls, this dessert is an elegant showstopper for any special occasion or chocolate lover’s craving.
