Tips and Tidbits

*Double this recipe for a 9-inch deep-dish pie.

Variations: add, in addition to vanilla, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, tint Cool Whip pink for Valentine’s day, green for St Patty’s day.

Top with crushed peppermint sticks/candy canes just before serving for Christmas.

You absolutely MUST continue beating the butter until the sugar granules disappear into it (5 minutes), and then you must beat each egg in separately (approx 5 minutes each.)

This makes it time-consuming, and practically impossible to whip by hand. In fact, a Kitchen Aid type mixer will really work the best, but I have also done it with an electric hand mixer in a large bowl.

Enjoy this French Silk Chocolate Pie!
