Instructions
Salted Pecan Crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, salt, and pecans. Use a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 9" pie pan.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until set and lightly browned. Set on a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate French Silk Pie
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the two chocolates in short intervals, stirring regularly. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drizzle the melted and cooled chocolate mixture over butter/sugar mixture and beat on medium-low speed until thoroughly combined.
- Add vanilla, espresso powder, and salt, and beat until combined.
- Switch to the whisk attachment. Then add one egg and beat for 5 minutes on medium speed. Repeat with remaining three eggs. Pour chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled, before serving. To serve, top with freshly whipped sweetened cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
