I tried French Silk pie for the first time tonight

[browneyes]

It was pretty good. My dd fell in love with it. I guess I know what I'll have to find a recipe for for Christmas dinner now.

It was good, but my homemade regular chocolate pie is MUCH better.

LOL, that good huh???

Too rich for my blood, just gimmie the chocolate cream pie please.

That's funny, browneyes --- I just made one last night.

I was surprised by the recipe I found. It called for using two eggs and no baking! Directions were to put it right into the fridge. I did a double take on that one. Ofcourse I was well into making it by the time I saw that. I ran it in the oven for about 35 min.. Then the fridge. When it comes to raw eggs, I'm chicken.

It turned out pretty good.

We used to get the French Silk Pies from Village Inn, but DH is not a big chocolate fan, so we haven't gotten them for quite a while.

mmmmmmmmmm

 

[browneyes]

AnneMarie, I'm a big ole chicken about raw eggs too. I think I'll look on copykat.com or foodtv for a cooked recipe, unless you'd like to share yours.

Deb, I'm not a chocolate fan either, but I liked the pie.

Hey Jason.

TMM, it is rich. I was glad I just had to share a slice. The slice was HUGE though.

Laurie, it was very good. My dd is a very picky eater and she loved it.

 

[Serena]

LOL, send me the recipe for your pie. Unless it's a family secret of course.

 

[browneyes]

My pie or are you asking AnneMarie, Laurie? I'll pm you my pie recipe. It's thick, rich, but very good. I only made 1 at Thanksgiving (normally I make 2). I thought my mom was gonna hurt someone for even thinking of eating that pie.

 

[Serena]

Your's Shannon.

 

[browneyes]

I just pm'd it to you Laurie.

 

[JulesMom]

I think it's great...but, then I like anything chocolate

I LOVE French Silk Pie. It is one of the few pies I actually like!

 

[annemariec]

Browneyes, here is the website for the recipe I used:

It was good, but I wonder how it would have been if I hadn't cooked it.

French Silk Pie is made with raw eggs. You can use egg beaters and they also sale pastuerized raw eggs in the store if you are worried about using raw eggs. This pie should not be cooked.

Enjoy

 

[browneyes]

Thanks for the link Anne Marie.

I'll look for those pastuerized eggs in the grocery store before I make the pie, Jennifer. Thanks for suggesting to do that.

A friend of mine makes those kind of pies and I have to agree....they're delicious!!!

 

[annemariec]

You're welcome Browneyes.

Toris mom is right. After seeing that the pie was to be put into the fridge, I looked for other recipes for the pie. None of the recipes I came across that night suggested cooking the pie. Not a one.

That's just what I did in a pinch. (My eggs were stored in the fridge door and I wasn't 100% sure if they were pasteurized.) I would rather use pasteurized eggs and no baking. In the future, that's what I'll do.

Glad I could help. I have made French Silk many times. It is my favorite. I alays made it with raw eggs until they started selling the pastuereized ones.

enjoy your pie
