French Silk Pie

"I love this recipe! It's a fixture at every holiday gathering. Shaved chocolate on top is a pretty presentation. The secret is in the beating. A shortcut: You can cream the butter a little less than 10 minutes. Last time I put 2 eggs in together and beat 5 minutes and repeated the other 2."

  1. This is so rich and so good. The mixing is tiring, but very worth it. The results is a creamy pie with tons of chocolate flavor. One slice is more than enough. Thanks!

Recently, cooking has become my favorite hobby! It is hands-on, involves reading, and new ideas and people. Also, my honey is sure happy about it (but not the weight he has gained)!
