For the filling:
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled (113g)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (8oz, 227g)
- 1 1/3 cups superfine sugar (10.6oz, 300g)
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 4 eggs at room temperature
For topping:
- Lightly sweetened whipped cream
- Semi-sweet chocolate shavings or curls
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and the sugar on medium-high for 5 minutes until pale in color and light and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl half-way through.
- Add the salt, vanilla, coffee granules, and cooled, melted chocolate and beat for another 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Using the whisk attachment, one by one, add the eggs and beat for a full 5 minutes after the addition of each egg, for a total of 20 minutes. Beating the full 20 minutes is essential. Scrape down the sides of the bowl before the addition of each egg.
- Pour the filling into the prebaked pie crust and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with lightly sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings or curls.
- Store the French Silk Pie in the refrigerator.
