The Best Pecan Pie For Chocolate Lovers
This is one luxurious dessert in a pie shell. I love all things with chocolate, fudge and nuts so this just checked all the boxes for being a winner. Oh, and putting a big dollop of whipped cream on top is like icing on a cake. I also love making my own pie crust, but if time doesnt permit, theres nothing wrong with buying an unbaked shell which makes this more simple and quick to put together.
This is especially a great treat to make for the Holidays, and one that everyone will be raving about. You might just have to make more than one to satisfy all the sweet teeth at the table. Go ahead, test it out first and let me know what you think? Its a great way to get a slice or even the whole pie before a large gathering wink, wink!

Tips For The Best French Silk Pie Recipe Ever
Deep, dark, chocolatey French Silk pie recipe is SO much easier than you may think but there are a few things you can do to guarantee great results.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature
- Add the sugar slowly – whipping constantly.
- The butter and sugar must be whipped together until the sugar crystals disappear. Keep checking the texture by rubbing a little between your thumb and forefinger until you can’t feel any crystals or roughness remain. This could take 10 minutes or even a little more.
- Make it even easier by whirring the sugar in the blender before adding it to the butter.
- Use room temperature eggs
- Add the yolks one at a time and make sure you beat for at least 3 minutes between each.
- Use a good butter – different brands make a difference. I use either Kerrygold, Plugra, or Challenge for the high fat content and flavor. If you live in Texas Braum’s used to have a European style butter that was nice as well.
- Be sure to let the pie chill for at least an hour and keep any leftovers refrigerated.
Best Ever Chocolate Cream Pie
This is the Best Chocolate Cream Pie I have tried! Supremely rich and chocolaty, the filling is ultra creamy and made with two types of chocolate!
Welcome again to Pie Week!
I have a lot of delicious pies and pie-ish recipes coming this week but I had to bring this recipe to the forefront. It is DIVINE.
When I grew up, we had a Marie Callenders restaurant nearby and we ate there pretty frequently. My favorite pie is and always will be their Dutch apple pie, but since we would go often enough, I would often try different slices after our meals. Notably favorites included their fresh strawberry, banana cream pie and their chocolate cream pie! I thought theirs was the best until I made this version.
Some chocolate cream pies are weirdly not chocolaty enough? Not sure how that happens, but its true. Or the chocolate flavor is really one-note. I strived to ensure this version had a delicious, super chocolaty filling so it is made with two types of chocolate for a truly deep and rich chocolate flavor!
Traditionally, cream pies are made with a pastry crust and this one is no exception. Youll just need to blind-bake your favorite frozen deep-dish pie crust which is a cinch to do and can be done in advance . Simply prick holes all over a semi-thawed frozen pie crust and bake briefly according to package directions or until golden brown and baked. Then let it cool for a second while you prepare your filling!
I dunno about you, but I am dying for a slice!

Why I Love This Recipe
Before we talk about how delicious and easy this recipe is, we need to talk about who I am as a pie maker. I make ugly pies!
Im good at a lot of things and I have a lot of strengths, but making pretty pies is just not one of them. I’ve just learned to call them rustic and now pretend they’re ugly on purpose.
My friend, Abby Jo Vanhoutan, published a cookbook titled, Cozy Christmas Baking, and she asked me to collaborate with her and help her promote her book by making some of the recipes and sharing the results with my friends and followers.
I, of course, was excited to help her out! This chocolate cream pie grabbed my attention, and I was not disappointed with the results!
What I love about this chocolate cream pie recipe is that whether it’s beautiful or rustic, the flavor is out of this world, and it’s a fairly simple pie recipe to throw together for a get-together, potluck, housewarming gift, or to bring to dinner at someone’s house.
Because this recipe needs to be refrigerated, you can make it ahead of time and forget about it until ready to serve.

How To Make Chocolate Pie Crust

I use cocoa powder to add chocolate flavor in my homemade chocolate pie crust. You can use either natural cocoa powder or dutch processed cocoa powder, but note that dutch processed will give a deeper chocolate flavor. Mix or sift the cocoa powder together with flour, sugar and salt before adding butter.
