Dark Chocolate Satin Pie
A decadent, rich pie made in the same way as French Silk Pie but with dark chocolate. A delicious, smooth, and rich filling poured into a butter crust and topped with whipped topping.
Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 baked pie crust
- 1 cup whipping cream
- ¾ cup dark chocolate, unsweetened
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup butter
- ⅓ cup sugar I often skip the sugar, altogether. See notes.
- 2 egg yolks beaten
- 3 tablespoons cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- whipped topping
Instructions
- Combine the 1 cup of whipping cream, sugar (if using), chocolate, and butter in a pan on low heat. Heat until the chocolate melts, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and add a bit of the chocolate to the egg yolks, whisking the whole time. When the egg yolks are brought up in temperature, add them to the chocolate.
- Continue to heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat.
- Add the additional cream and vanilla, whisk well.
- Set the saucepan on a bowl filled with ice water for about 20 minutes or until the mixture gets stiff.
- Beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes or until the texture becomes smooth.
- Spread inside your pre-baked pie shell and top with whipping cream.
- Cool for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
I often skip the sugar in this recipe (and in the pie in the photos, there isn't any) which results in an even richer, denser pie. I find that the pie is already sweet enough.
