This is a beautiful, fluffy French silk pie made without raw eggs. I recently made one for a pie auction and it sold for $65! Yes, it really is that tasty. I've been making this pie by memory for years, and I have no idea of the recipe's origin. Garnishing the pie with extra whipped cream and chocolate curls makes it fabulous!

Ingredients

¼ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons shaved dark chocolate, or to taste
1 (9 inch) baked pie crust

Directions

Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until well blended. Stir in milk gradually. Turn heat to medium and constantly stir until boiling. Remove from heat.
Add chocolate chips and vanilla extract to 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 half of whipped cream mixture into 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.

Tips

For a more impressive pie, whip one extra cup of whipping cream and add it to the top of the pie, before garnishing it with shaved chocolate.
