French Chocolate Silk Pie

This dessert is ridiculously simple to make and there is no baking involved. The smooth, silky filling is such a treat for the taste buds.

Total Time:1 hour 5 minutes
Servings:8 slices

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces dark chocolate
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 cups whipped cream
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Melt chocolate (you can use the microwave or melt it on a water bath). Allow it to cool a little.
  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl, add confectioners' sugar to cream and chocolate, mix well until combined.
  • Add whipped cream, mix well until smooth.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, and granulated sugar in a separate bowl. Press graham cracker mix into springform pan.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve topped with whipping cream and grated chocolate.

Notes

  • I know I said this already but it’s important - choose the chocolate with care. It can make or break this dessert. A rich, unsweetened dark chocolate with close to 100% cacao is perfect.
  • You can substitute brown sugar instead of white sugar for the crust if you want a slightly different taste.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours after making it, so the filling sets and you can cut slices cleanly.
