How to Make a Chocolate Pie

How to Make a Chocolate Pie
Full Recipe: preppykitchen....
This is might just be the MOST indulgent, and sumptuously satisfying dessert I’ve ever made. A crispy, flakey homemade pastry crust cradles a silky light and oh so rich chocolate mousse filling crowned with light pillows of whipped cream and flakes of shaved chocolate. If you’re a chocolate lover this is a MUST MAKE recipe that will definitely go into your rotation of favorite treats to whip up.
You can make the whole thing a day ahead and serve chilled but if you're doing thet I might recommend whipping the cream up just before serving for best reults.

I appreciate you going into detail concerning the crust. The use of foil was brilliant. I have learned so many useful things from your videos. I made my own cake strips as per your instructions, then bought some. Thanks for this series.

Overwhipped egg whites? Save them by the addition of one egg white & a quick whisk by hand. Better to use one more egg white than starting over with 8.

The first time I had a "slice" of a French Silk Pie was when I was in college and from a Midwestern chain of restaurants called "Baker's Square." I was sold. Since both my taste buds and culinary memory are now addicted and acclimated to that particular pie, there is no turning back. The "silk" in "French Silk," I believe, belongs to the amount of butter one adds to the chocolate. There are many "copycat" versions of that particular Baker's Square pie. The closest I have ever found is the recipe from Cook's Country. It uses one stick of butter in the chocolate elixir, added one tablespoon at a time. Silk! When I graduated college and taught in a small rural town, and was forced to get a Master's Degree from a zillion miles away ... I detoured for this pie.

[@michaelgraham768]

For an egg free version, whip one quart of whipping cream to use later, add one packet of gelatin in to a small amount of water over a double boiler and get it all melted, then add some cream and chocolate to make a ganache and fold that into your whipped cream, when it sets it's just like mousse from bakeries in those little chocolate cups, it would be great for this. I use dark chocolate and it's hard to say how much, maybe between 1 cup and 1 1/2 cups, depending on how rich you want it to be. The gelatin prevents the mousse from melting when it's left out or as you're eating it and gives it a much more wonderful texture overall.
