French Silk Pie

This is the most delicious, creamy chocolate pie. It is even better topped with whipped cream! 



 First, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter with 3/4 cup sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. I used the Stevia that comes in a bag, and the sugar to Stevia measurements are on the back.
 Next, whip in 2 ounces of melted chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla. You can use unsweetened chocolate or dark chocolate with very little sweetener. The filling should be dark and grainy.
 After that is combined add one egg and beat it for five minutes. Then add the second egg and beat it for five more minutes. With each egg, the filling should get much fluffier and lighter in color.
Spoon the filling into a pre-cooked pie crust and smooth it out. You can use a store- bought crust or make my pie crust recipe. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or overnight. 
If you want, top the pie with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Enjoy!



Warning: This pie contains raw eggs.
