Copycat Bakers Square French Silk Pie Recipe 415

Steps:

• Bake a pie crust or use a Mrs. Smiths frozen crust and make according to package directions.

• Add chocolate and vanilla. Add eggs, two at a time, beating 5 minutes after each addition.
• Pour into cooled pie crust. Chill 2 hours or until firm.
• Before serving, top with whipped cream and a little grated chocolate.

Steps:

• Cut pie crust in half. Repackage and refrigerate 1 half for another use. On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining half into an 8-in. circle. Transfer to a 7-in. pie plate; flute edge., Line shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 4 minutes. Remove foil; bake until crust is golden brown, about 2 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack., In a small saucepan, combine sugar and eggs until well blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate and vanilla until smooth. Cool to lukewarm (90°), stirring occasionally. , In a small bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add cooled chocolate mixture; beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. , In another large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture. , Pour into crust. Chill for at least 6 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Bake pie shell at 425 for 12-15 minutes. Cool completely. Cream butter with sugar, stir in cooled melted unsweetened chocolate. Add one egg, beat at highspeed for 5 minutes. Add the other egg, beat for another 5 minutes. Fold in half the cool whip, pour into pie shell, top with remaining cool whip, shave curls of sweet chocolate on top with a potatoe peeler.
• Chill for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• First off, make the filling first. The filling will be pale in color but will darken as it chills. Put it into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. This allows it to set up and thicken a bit before adding it to the pie shell. Make your pie crust. If making a crust from scratch, follow the instructions for a fully baked pie shell as this pie will not go in the oven. Let it cool completely. Add the chilled filling to the pie crust. Put it back in the fridge while you make the whipped topping. If you are using Cool Whip, go ahead and top the pie now and refrigerate. WAIT until tomorrow to eat. You can certainly eat it after it has chilled for several hours, BUT believe me when I tell you that you will be very thankful that you waited overnight. The filling needs time to set up. Any graininess you may have detected when you tasted the filling will be gone after a good night's rest. The eggs in this recipe are not cooked. If that concerns you, you can use pasteurized eggs.
