Step-by-Step Instructions for French Silk Pie
  1. Prepare the Pie Crust by baking according to package instructions at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  2. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth, then allow to cool to room temperature.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 6-7 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the cooled melted chocolate and vanilla extract until well blended, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Add the eggs two at a time, mixing on high speed for 5 minutes between each addition until the filling is light and fluffy.
  6. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  8. For the topping, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  9. Spread the whipped cream topping evenly over the chilled pie, garnishing with shaved bittersweet chocolate if desired.
