Ingredients
Peppermint French Silk Pie
- 1 9- inch pie crust baked
- 3 oz unsweetened chocolate melted and cooled
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 whole large pasteurized eggs
Peppermint Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Garnish
- Crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Using an electric stand mixer start by creaming butter until it is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually pour in sugar and beat until fluffy. This could take a full 2 minutes, be patient!
- Mix in melted chocolate and peppermint until well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Add in eggs, 1 at a time, beating on medium-high for 2 minutes after each addition. You want to fully incorporate eggs and incorporate enough air for pie to be light and fluffy.
- Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pie crust and place in fridge.
- Make peppermint whipped cream by whisking heavy cream until you have soft peaks. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla, and peppermint extract and beat until stiff peaks.
- Spread whipped cream over chocolate layer and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.
- Let pie set in the fridge for 4 hours before slicing to serve.
