Here’s a French Silk Slab Pie recipe—perfect for feeding a crowd!
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
• 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade dough for a 9×13-inch pan)
• 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
For the Filling:
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate (melted & cooled)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs (pasteurized if preferred)
For the Topping:
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Chocolate shavings or curls for garnish
Instructions:
Make the Crust:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Roll out the pie crusts and press them into a greased 9×13-inch baking sheet, trimming the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork.
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely.
Prepare the Filling:
4. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
5. Mix in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract.
6. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 3-4 minutes per egg (this helps create the silky texture).
7. Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust.
Make the Whipped Topping:
8. Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
9. Spread over the chocolate filling and garnish with chocolate shavings.
Chill & Serve:
10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) before slicing into squares.
