How to Make French Silk Slab Pie

---

Ingredients:

• 2 (9-inch) pie crusts, softened

For the filling:

• 10 oz bittersweet chocolate (plus more for topping)
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a half sheet pan with non-stick spray.
2. Roll out the two pie crusts into a rectangle a bit larger than the pan. Press into the pan, trim edges, and crimp if you like.
3. Line the crust with parchment paper. Add pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15–17 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
4. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second steps, stirring each time. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
5. In a saucepan, whisk the eggs and sugar. Cook on low heat, stirring all the time, until the sugar is melted and the mixture is slightly thick (about 5 minutes).
6. Take it off the heat and stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Let it cool a little.
7. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Slowly add the chocolate mixture and beat for about 5 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
8. In a new bowl, whip the heavy cream until it thickens. Add powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
9. Fold 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Save the rest of the whipped cream for the top.
10. Spread the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours until set.
11. Spread the rest of the whipped cream on top. Add chocolate shavings if you want. Slice and serve!
