🔪 How to Make French Silk Pie

Prepare and bake your pie crust per the directions, baking 15-18 minutes. If the edges get dark too quickly, lightly cover them with aluminum foil. Then remove it from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature while you prepare the filling.

Add the heavy cream to a mixing bowl and beat it using a hand mixer until you have stiff peaks. Place it in the fridge while you make the custard.

Add the eggs and sweetener to a heat proof mixing bowl set over a saucepan with boiling water to make a double boiler.  Simmer your water on medium low heat and place the mixing bowl over the top.

Mix constantly a hand mixer, for 12-15 minutes.  If you don’t have a hand mixer, you can use a whisk and mix by hand, but the hand mixer makes it much easier.

Once that’s ready it will be very pale yellow color and will have thickened up. Take it off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract, then set it aside to cool slightly.

Add the sugar free chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat it in the microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir.  Then reheat it in 10 second increments until it has fully melted.

Add half the butter and half the melted chocolate into the eggs and sweetener mixture, then mix using your hand mixer.  Repeat with the remaining butter and chocolate and continue mixing for 3 minutes.

Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined.

Once there are no streaks of chocolate remaining, pour the sugar free chocolate cream into your cooled pie crust.  Chill it in the fridge overnight or at least 8 hours until it has fully set.

You can add some (optional) Keto whipped cream made with heavy whipping cream and sugar free sweetener. Then garnish with grated chocolate or a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder before cutting and serving.

Store leftovers in the fridge.

Can French Silk Pie Be Frozen?

Yes, you can freeze this Keto pie. For best results, if you want to freeze the whole pie, place it in the freezer for a few hours. Then remove it and wrap the frozen pie in plastic wrap, then a layer of foil.

If freezing the whole pie, you may want to wait and add fresh whipped topping before serving.

If you want to freeze leftover slices, just place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet making sure they aren’t touching each other. Freeze for a few hours, then remove them from the freezer and wrap each one in plastic wrap, followed with a layer of foil. To thaw, unwrap and place in a sealed container in the fridge overnight.

How Do You Thicken Chocolate Pie Filling?
