Have you ever had French silk pie? It’s a creamy, silky smooth pie with a light texture and a rich chocolate taste. This one’s baked on my flaky, buttery homemade pie crust (a family favorite for generations). Traditional recipes are often made with raw eggs but—thanks to your feedback—there are NO raw eggs in my recipe!

After I shared my chocolate mousse recipe (made with raw eggs), I received a lot of feedback that people were uncomfortable consuming recipes with raw eggs. I got the message, so I went to work and found a way to cook the eggs while still achieving a rich and creamy pie with the lighter traditional texture that you expect from a French silk pie. 

Fair warning: there’s a bit of technique and patience involved with this showstopper, but it’s well worth it. 

Google “Sugar Spun French Silk Pie” or get the recipe here: https://sugarspunrun.com/french-silk-pie/
