No Bake French Silk Pie Recipes

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix cookie crumbs and melted butter until crumbs are moistened and coated with butter. Press mixture in bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
• In 1-quart saucepan, beat granulated sugar and eggs with whisk until blended. Cook over medium heat until instant-read thermometer reads 160°F. Mixture should thicken slightly and coat back of metal spoon.
• Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until melted and smooth. Cool slightly; mix in softened butter until well incorporated. Let cool until just warm; stir occasionally as it cools.
• In large bowl, beat whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture; pour into chilled pie crust. Top center of pie with remaining whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate curls or chocolate shavings.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Crush the crackers in a food processor or resealable bag. Pour them into a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press into a pie pan and bake until golden and set, 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
• For the filling: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the baking chocolate until stirrable (about 45 seconds on high). Set aside to cool.
• It is important for the bowl and ingredients to be cold for the next stage of making the filling--to get the right texture and result. In a large chilled bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and butter until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
• When the melted chocolate is cooled, drizzle it over the butter/sugar mixture. Add the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture thoroughly until combined (on a stand mixer, you will be using the whisk attachment).
• Turn your mixer to a medium speed and over a period of 15 to 20 minutes, add in the 4 cold eggs, one at a time, leaving about 5 minutes between each egg addition. Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shell, scraping every last speck of it out of the bowl. Smooth out the pie filling and place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours (preferably longer).
• For the topping: Add the heavy cream and sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until it is stiff. Cover the pies with a thick layer of cream. Grate the semisweet chocolate over the top.

Steps:

• Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until well blended. Stir in milk gradually. Turn heat to medium and stir constantly until boiling. Remove from heat.
• Add chocolate chips and vanilla extract to the hot milk mixture; stir until smooth and chocolate chips have melted. Transfer into a large mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place on the counter until cooled to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, combine 2 cups whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• Uncover cooled chocolate mixture and beat with clean beater attachments until light and fluffy. Gently fold 1/2 of the whipped cream mixture into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to overmix. Spoon into pie crust and top with remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Serve.

Steps:

• Crust:.
• Make crumbs out of the graham crackers (about 12- 15 crackers) by covering them with plastic wrap and rolling over them with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs.
• Mix crackers, sugar, and butter in a mixing bowl with a mixer on low speed, hands or a fork, until you have a constancy of course meal.
• Press into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Bake at 375°F for 8- 10 minutes.
• Filling:.
• With an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until you get a light airy texture.
• (You will get best results if you use paddle attachments on the mixer. Regular beaters are fine but if you use this, stop occasionally and clean out the butter/sugar mixture with a rubber spatula as the blades can become clogged.) Do not over cream the butter.
• If the butter starts to break down and separate, rechill for 5- 15 minutes.
• Add the cooled chocolate and measured vanilla.
• One at a time add eggs.
• With your electric mixer beat a minimum of 5 minutes for each egg before adding the next and after the last egg the mixture should be VERY smooth.
• Move the mixture into the graham cracker pie crust.
• Topping:.
• Whip cream until it starts to stiffen.
• Add the vanilla and sugar and beat until peaks form and hold.
• Top the pie with the whipped cream.
• Drizzle the chocolate syrup on top of the pie in a random pattern.
• Grate the unsweetened chocolate on top of the pie.
• Finishing:.
• Chill the pie for 3- 24 hours.
• The toppings can be added after chilling if preferred (chill time is listed as cook time).

Steps:

• Using Stand Mixer
• Cream together 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar until mixture is fluffy - about 3 minutes. Add 8 oz. of melted chocolate and beat well for 2 minutes. Add one egg at a time and beat on high speed for a minimum of 1 minute after adding each egg. Once all the eggs have been beaten into the chocolate mixture continue to beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Pour pie filling into the pie crust and mound the filling towards the center of the pie and smooth out towards edges of the pie crust. Cover lightly with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Whipped Topping:.
• In chilled mixing bowl add 1 cup heavy whipping cream and beat on high until stiff peaks form, add sugar and beat until well combined. Remove pie from refrigerator and slice.
• Drizzle a small amount of Hershey's chocolate syrup onto a dessert plate, place the pie slice on the plate and add a large spoonful of whipped cream on top of the pie. Serve immediately.
• Keep Pie chilled in refrigerator.
