French Silk Pie

This pie is for the chocolate lovers. It is so rich and creamy and delicious. You can use a traditional crust, a graham crust or any kind of crust that you want. I like a traditional crust myself. And the reason I don't have a picture is because it disappeared to quickly! LOL


1 cup whipping cream + 1 cup for whipped topping
1 cup semi or dark chocolate pieces (6 oz)
1/3 cup butter, unsalted
1/3 cup sugar
2 beaten egg yolks
1. Prepare crust and set aside
2. In a sauce pan, combine 1 cup whipping cream , chocolate, butter and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat.
3. Slowly add some of the chocolate mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Return egg mixture to chocolate mixture in saucepan. Cook at medium low heat stirring constantly until mixture becomes think and bubbly 
4. Place the pan in a bowl of ice water and stir occasionally until mixture becomes hard to stir. Transfer to mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer til light and fluffy. Spread into pastry shell, top with whipped cream and refrigerate for at least 5 hours... if you can wait that long...
