French Silk Pie

My family loves this pie! One never lasts for more than a day. It is great on any occasion or just because you want something cold and chocolate! My mom got this recipe from an old Betty Crocker or Pillsbury cookbook.

SERVES 6 -8 , 1 pie (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the melted butter in an automatic mixer. I use a Kitchenaid.
  2. 2
    Add the sugar and stir on low.
  3. 3
    Slowly add the chocolate while mixing until it is well blended.
  4. 4
    Pour in your peppermint.
  5. 5
    Add one of the eggs, and change the mixing speed to hi. I go to the highest level on the Kitchenaid. Beat the mixture for 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    Add the second egg. You may want to slow down the mixer to add the egg. Return to hi speed and mix for 5 minutes. Your pie should be a nice light brown color. If not, mix it longer and make sure you are on a really hi speed.
  7. 7
    Turn off the mixer. Pour the mix into the chocolate crust. Place a lid or plastic wrap over the pie.
  8. 8
    Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours.
  9. 9
    Take the lid off the pie. Spread cool whip or whipped cream on the pie. Make chocolate curls with the chocolate bar and a potato peeler. Sprinkle the curls over the cream.

This pie is absolutely delicious! I was looking for a recipe like my mom used to make, and this one, with the peppermint, is it! I should have made 2! Oh, and if you don't have peppermint schnapps, you can blend vodka and crushed peppermint candies in a blender to get close to the same flavor.
