I just made this pie and oh my I can’t believe how delicious it is! I’ve made so many of the recipes from Preppy Kitchen. Thank you John for your precise directions.
What’s the difference between French silk pie and chocolate cream pie? Please don’t judge I really don’t know. By the way I am planning to make this French silk pie for upcoming Christmas. I’m the fan of your recipes…tried so many recipes and everyone loves everything 😋
I'm dying here for that pie! We use to have French silk at Poppin Fresh pies, later called Bakers Square. It was THE only pie I would eat, just heavenly
Such a great memory from growing up in Minneapolis! My absolute favorite - a cream pie WITHOUT a graham cracker crust and chocolate that tasted like chocolate YES!
While trying to find a French Silk Pie Recipe for my boyfriend for Thanksgiving, I had about 10 tabs open with every recipe that looked good. Your tab was the second one that I opened and played. Needless to say, I just deleted all of the others because I have found THE ONE! Thank you for your wonderful instructions and especially your fun personality 🥰
Mine didn't turn out good at all. The chocolate filling was crumbly. Everything looked on point in assembly. Was I supposed to let it get room temp before cutting. It looked more like milk chocolate. I've made one before that turned out silky but could not find that recipe. My crust was great. I was very disappointed.
Hey thanks for all the baking tips! It’s saved friendships for me and helped me make more! Your energy also puts me in a good mood! I’m gonna bake the loft house recipe this weekend! Peace out, homie!
Yummy!! This recipe is going on my Thanksgiving menu, alongside your Pumpkin Pie recipe! Thank you for sharing. I don’t know if I’ll be brave enough to make my own crust, but the video you posted recently definitely helps! Thanks again for sharing and have a great day 💜
I have also been looking for that French silk pie, and I believe you nailed it! Thank you for all the hard work. Kids love it. Cannot wait to make for my sister. When we were young we both worked at a pie shop, so we have high standards. You are a gifted culinarian.
John the pie looks absolutely delicious and its so rich! Can't wait to try it!! Aahh yummy... Also last week i tried your brownies recipe and my parents and i loved it, so decadent, i freaking got the crust and it looked and tasted heavenly, thank you so much!! I've been seeing your videos for quite a long time but havn't really tried out anything, so i started w brownies, I'm so excited to try out more recipes of yours😃👌🏼
Have you ever made a strawberry cream pie? One that has the mousse of strawberry piled with whipped cream on top? I would love to see a recipe for that!
We made this for Thanksgiving and it was just as amazing as promised! Definitely a do-over and will be a favorite requested for birthdays and family get togethers for many years to come! Thank you for a great recipe and for such easy to follow instructions!
This is also my favorite pie, but I also like an Oreo crust too to amplify the chocolate flavor!! Will be making this for Thanksgiving, along with pumpkin pie of course.
I made this pie for Thanksgiving. It was a total home run! I made 3 pies, pecan, apple using 4 different types of apples and this French Silk. This pie was gone by the next morning. I will definitely make it again!
I haven't had a french silk pie in forever! Like decades! And seeing how easy it is to make it makes me wish I had heavy cream in the fridge! (I came looking for you because I'm going to make your chocolate cake today!) Hey, crazy question. Can I whip up egg nog?
I was thinking... "Chocolate on a pie? Nothing French about that!" but I it got it's name from the double boiler situation where it looks like you're making French icing? 🤔
My recipe is slightly different. The butter and sugar and mixed together until light, cooled melted chocolate added and then the eggs are beaten in one at a time, beat 5 minutes after each addition. Recipe doesn't call for whipped cream to be folded in, but I like that. My boys made it for Thanksgiving for years. Their cousins would call a couple days before Thanksgiving to be sure they were making the pie. My youngest son's mother-in-law didn't like the pie because of the raw eggs (she cooked for schools and no raw eggs were allowed) and that plus being so rich it went out of favor, except for my brother-in-law who would eat it any time I made it. I'll try with cooking the eggs to 160 degrees, I would love to make this pie again.
I had never heard of French silk pie until I went to Chicago to visit some cousins when I was in middle school. We went to the Pie House and my cousin told me to order it. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I had never had anything so delicious before. It is the best pie that has ever been invented.
My hubby wants Marie calendars satin pie for his birthday. This looks close except their crust is chocolate crumbs. So you think it will be comparable?
Thank you for working on this recipe and making this video. I followed the original recipe for this pie twice before and could never get it to set quite right. Your recipe is huge improvement on the original in so many ways. It’s faster and leaves hardly any room for error. My pie was perfect on Thanksgiving, and I can’t wait to make it again for Christmas.
Hey John! Wondering what tips you have to tell if a chocolate is high quality. Obviously price is an indicator, and then you can probably rely on some renown brands like Lindt, but do you have any other suggestions for spotting a good quality chocolate?
Could you alter this recipe to make a french silk inspired frosting? Maybe add 1 cup of powdered sugar to stabilize it for piping? Or since it's so sweet maybe add cornstarch?
Ok did anybody have a trouble with the chocolate butter mixture? Mine was liquid and didn’t get silky while beating (l have a hand mixer). What did l do wrong? Now l don’t know what to do, may be some gelatin gonna save the situation😢
John, may I add a teaspoon of expresso powder to the chocolate mix itself? Would this alter anything, aside from making the chocolate even more amazing?
With how descriptive you are when it comes to the texture, consistency, and taste of what you are making makes every one of your recipes idiot proof and I appreciate that beyond belief. I’m also very jealous of your KitchenAid‘s. LOL ❤
I don't understand why you sweeten the cream, don't you mask the flavour of the cream that way, surly the pie is sweet enough? we don't sweeten cream in the UK, apart from that it looks amazing, and I will be trying it out myself, less the sugar in the cream.
I found a recipe that has Baileys Irish cream in French silk, can I add that to this recipe? Would it replace the vanilla? Is the extra couple tablespoons of liquid going to throw it off?
Just made this, I accidentally dumped the chocolate while the crust was still hot and almost had a chocolate soup pie. I quickly dumped out the chocolate mixture and saved it. The only thing is the pie crust has an ugly brown smudge where I dumped it out from. But it tastes great.
I have a hard time with american pie's.. it's so fare from what i'm used to.. Have you ever tried honey bombs.. i made my pre dough for that in march i thing.. usually make it a year before (i empty the container, wash it and fill it again)
Your plates in the last minute always look amazing can I know the brand name? Or if anyone who read it can you tell me what I should search in Google for a similar kind
This is my all time favorite pie, too! I make it every Thanksgiving. Yiur recipe is similar to the one I usually use, so I ma going to try yours this year!
If you wanted to intensify the chocolate taste by adding coffee flavor, would it be okay if you added a teaspoon of instant coffee to the chopped, unsweetened, chocolate that you add to the cooking egg and sugar mixture?
I just made this pie and oh my I can’t believe how delicious it is! I’ve made so many of the recipes from Preppy Kitchen. Thank you John for your precise directions.

Bakers Square French silk is so good.

Looks amazing John! Love French silk pie! 🥧 😋 😋
So good! Hope you get to try the recipe out!

Another amazing recipe ~ as always educational and entertaining - best baker on TH-cam - thanks
Wow, thank you! You are tooo knid Tom!
every time you slide the dish or cutting board I kinda worry what if it fell down on the floor. Did that ever happened to you.

Just made this. Can't bear to wait three hours 😂 But, I will
!Edit: it was outstanding. The family loved it!

My goodness! Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to try this! Your crust was also gorgeous. Hope I can make mine just as beautiful! 🍫 yum!
Aww thank you! Check out my pie crust video, it has all the tips and tricks. (also, bake it from frozen!)
Your videos are amazing, I've made many, they're so delicious 😋. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@PreppyKitchen you're welcome! i actually will make this in a couple of days
Parece que la repostería te sale bien nada más como dice el dicho en México zapatero a tus zapatos
Si todo lo que hace se ve rico! No eh podido hacer nada pero se ve delicioso 😊
The crust is sooooo BEAUTIFUL. The pie looks amazing. Love how u do the chocolate curls
I just made this pie for my Mon’s birthday! She loves French Silk pie so, it was perfect! ❤😊
John the pie looks absolutely delicious and its so rich! Can't wait to try it!! Aahh yummy...

Have you ever made a strawberry cream pie? One that has the mousse of strawberry piled with whipped cream on top? I would love to see a recipe for that!
Use a bread knife (pointy kind, not the scalloped kind) to make chopping chocolate much easier. Way more control than a chef's knife.
We made this for Thanksgiving and it was just as amazing as promised! Definitely a do-over and will be a favorite requested for birthdays and family get togethers for many years to come! Thank you for a great recipe and for such easy to follow instructions!
Looks sooo delicious. John, thanks for the recipe! 😊😉
Omg you melted my heart!❤ my favorite pie .. I subscribed yesterday and you did not disappoint me today ❤❤
This is also my favorite pie, but I also like an Oreo crust too to amplify the chocolate flavor!! Will be making this for Thanksgiving, along with pumpkin pie of course.
Would a baked graham cracker crust work?
@@CM-ho5ic Yes, I just made a pumpkin pie with a homemade graham cracker crust and it worked well.
@@Appaddict01 thanks, thinking about making it for 🦃 day
This looks mouth watering! I'm saving this one to my Pinterest because my husband will love it!!! Thank you!!
Everything you make is one of Brian's "All Time Favorites".
Thank you for sharing this! It actually looks like I could make this. French Silk is my favorite!! I’ve been looking for a good recipe! 💜
We do NOT approve of unmixed nonsense!
I made this pie for Thanksgiving. It was a total home run! I made 3 pies, pecan, apple using 4 different types of apples and this French Silk. This pie was gone by the next morning. I will definitely make it again!

Smooth as French silk, is most likely the origination.
Brian this silky chocolate filling is amazing! The only thing I add to it was shot of rum and it was to die for ! Great receipe!!
Followed step-by-step. The filling is too thin. In the refrigerator, so hoping for the best. I can't imagine it firming up.
Made it today, same thing. Filling is thin, no way it can firm. I’m gonna try put some gelatin
Oh my goodness! That looks sooooo amazing! Thank you for sharing this decadent recipe! 😮😍
you're so pleasant as well as your fun, helpful videos 😍
I wondered what the secret to this filling was. Now I know. Thanks for sharing this one. Excellent recipe!
French Silk is my absolute favorite pie! I'm so excited to try your recipe for it. Thank you!
I made this and it was unbelievably good. Everyone was expecting it to be super rich but it was sooo smooth!
I don't have any sort of electric whisk, but perhaps I should try to do this manually! I'd certainly get an arm workout.
I'm French and i'm going to try to make this "french" pie. Thanks for this recipe Sir it looks wonderful!
Finally! A good silk pie recipe without having to use raw eggs.
“Unmixed nonsense”. Accurate description of my life and I’m keeping it.
My recipe is slightly different. The butter and sugar and mixed together until light, cooled melted chocolate added and then the eggs are beaten in one at a time, beat 5 minutes after each addition. Recipe doesn't call for whipped cream to be folded in, but I like that. My boys made it for Thanksgiving for years.

The higher A1-c readings I have the more I enjoy your videos. This one hurt my pancreas
Amazing!! Our family has a long standing tradition of this pie. You're seems so much safer than our raw eggs recipe. Thank you!!!!!
Oh my gosh that is one amazing looking chocolate silk pie 😍
This looks glorious!! I’m making this tomorrow! Thank you, John! Cheers!
Very nice recipie John! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good weekend! 👍👏🍫🍫🍫
Thank you! You too!
@@PreppyKitchen Thanks! 🤩🤩🤩
Hi, could you make the Starbucks Cranberry Bliss bar? For the holidays
I’ve never heard of this before but it looks lush😍😍
It is crazy delicious and we make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas
Oh my! Okay. You got me! I’m making this tomorrow. Thank you!😊
Looks like a cloud of chocolate goodness! Like a chocolate mousse filling ugh I am STARVING
Unsweetened chocolate ♥️
Eggs 💩
250 grams granulated sugar 💪
226 grams butter 🌡️
Whipped cream ❤️
Pour the chocolate filling in the pie crust 👏
Absolutely amazing ❤
My hubby wants Marie calendars satin pie for his birthday. This looks close except their crust is chocolate crumbs. So you think it will be comparable?

Your recipe is huge improvement on the original in so many ways. It’s faster and leaves hardly any room for error. My pie was perfect on Thanksgiving, and I can’t wait to make it again for Christmas.
My husband's favorite pie.. using this recipe for his birthday on the 15th. Looks perfect!
تسلم ايدك يا شيف
جميلة جدا وجدا 💚🤍💚🤍

شكرا لمشاركة. الوصفة

Hey John! Wondering what tips you have to tell if a chocolate is high quality. Obviously price is an indicator, and then you can probably rely on some renown brands like Lindt, but do you have any other suggestions for spotting a good quality chocolate?
French silk is my husband’s favorite pie and I make one every anniversary. I’m so excited to try your recipe.
We used to get Chocolate Silk Pies at Perkins Family restaurants. By the slice or a whole pie to go. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Oh my goodness! So glad you are a mind reader too. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!
You don’t say “chop chop chop” or “whisk whisk whisk” anymore. 😅
Either way this is the project before thanksgiving.
Could you alter this recipe to make a french silk inspired frosting? Maybe add 1 cup of powdered sugar to stabilize it for piping? Or since it's so sweet maybe add cornstarch?
I did a double take because of the fly on the plate. There I was all excited by the pie and boom.... FLY!
Ok did anybody have a trouble with the chocolate butter mixture? Mine was liquid and didn’t get silky while beating (l have a hand mixer). What did l do wrong? Now l don’t know what to do, may be some gelatin gonna save the situation😢

Yummy love these pies would be festive to make a peppermint chocolate silk pie for the holidays 😋
Just made this, I accidentally dumped the chocolate while the crust was still hot and almost had a chocolate soup pie. I quickly dumped out the chocolate mixture and saved it. The only thing is the pie crust has an ugly brown smudge where I dumped it out from. But it tastes great.
Every recipe here, he claims is "Amazing." Not so. I've tried some and they were dry and not worth trying again.
I have a hard time with american pie's.. it's so fare from what i'm used to..
Have you ever tried honey bombs.. i made my pre dough for that in march i thing.. usually make it a year before (i empty the container, wash it and fill it again)
You sir, got me in trouble. I made this pie for thanksgiving and everyone wanted some of this and didn't try any of my wife's pie
That looks like two 4 oz bars you’re chopping. Isn’t 4 then or 8?
Wow what a Great recipie 🎉
I need to try it this weekend 🫶🏻
Yikes! Even for the holidays that's just too rich for my palate.
I want to make this, looks gourmandizing! Also, love the apron you are wearing, where can I get one?
Oh my anxiety, peel AWAY from your hand John! ❤
OK
After I drop another 20 lbs I'm making this dream come true.
Your plates in the last minute always look amazing can I know the brand name? Or if anyone who read it can you tell me what I should search in Google for a similar kind
What a beautiful and delicious concoction!! You are truly a master of your art!
This is my all time favorite pie, too! I make it every Thanksgiving. Yiur recipe is similar to the one I usually use, so I ma going to try yours this year!
I know my 2 tsps are different than yours! I think I have larger spoons. 😂
I will try sweet pie crust on my next pie. Cookie crust to me will tame down the dark chocolate flavor.
If you wanted to intensify the chocolate taste by adding coffee flavor, would it be okay if you added a teaspoon of instant coffee to the chopped, unsweetened, chocolate that you add to the cooking egg and sugar mixture?
❤Absolutely gorgeous! I see why this is a favorite of Brian’s…so silky but decadent.
I've never had that pie but it looks awesome!
It’s delicious. Bakers Square has a excellent one.
That is the hardest way to make chocolate French silk pie. I will stick to my family recipe.
I use to have a chocolate pie recipe, cream cheese belgium chocolate.......I lost my recipe 😱
Oh god... the sugar. Wish I didn't know how much goes into the pie.
Baker's Square. The pie reminded me of that restaurant
John, help! Why is my blind-baked pie shrinking?
Hi John your baking is amazing and I want to buy your book so how can I get it in Karachi Pakistan
How can I fix the chocolate mix if the butter was warmer than toom temperature?
