Ingredients

Pie crust:

  • 1 package Pie crusts Store bought

Filling:

Topping:

  • 1 cup Whipped cream
  • 1 cup Chocolate shreds
  • 4 Chocolate squares For decoration

Instructions

  • Prepare the mini pie crusts and allow them to cool down completely.
  • Add the dark chocolate in a bowl and melt it in the microwave. Remove the bowl every 30 seconds and mix with a spoon to prevent chocolate from burning. Keep this aside and allow it to cool down.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy (similar to when you make a pound cake!)
  • Add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, melted chocolate (that has been cooled down) and mix until everything is thoroughly combined and very fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, while continuing to mix for at least 18-20 minutes. Your mixture should eventually be very smooth and creamy and there should be no graininess, whatsoever!
  • Pour this mixture into the mini pie crusts. Cover with saran wrap and and let the filling set it in the fridge overnight.
  • Prior to serving, top off each pie with a spoonful of whipped cream. Sprinkle some chocolate shreds and top them off with a few chocolate square pieces.
  • If you are making a french silk pie dome, follow steps 1-7 but omit the chocolate pieces and then turn over one set pie on top of another.
  • Top it off with some whipped cream and sprinkle some chocolate shreds.
  • And you are done making your easy French silk pie dome!
