Rich Chocolate Silk Pie Recipe

This homemade Chocolate Silk Pie recipe with freshly whipped cream is smooth & creamy, sweet & rich. It's the BEST no-bake treat for hot summer days. Monday was a busy day… It was also smoking hot. Hot enough to warrant whipping up our favorite summertime pie… a rich Chocolate Silk Pie!

Normally, our temperatures during the last week of May will fall close to 70 degrees, but on Monday we topped out at 90! Memorial Day weekend falls just after our last frost date and the extra day provides for the perfect excuse to plant our garden. Between that and the final tasks involved with putting up the first cutting of hay for the year, we were hot, sweaty, sticky, and smelly by the end of the day.

Covered in dirt and bits of hay filthy.

And I just knew that by then everyone would be calling for a trip to the local ice cream shop. The problem is with a crew this large, a trip to the local ice cream shop can practically bankrupt us.

This homemade Chocolate Silk Pie recipe with freshly whipped cream is smooth & creamy, sweet & rich. It's the BEST no-bake treat for hot summer days.

No, I’m not kidding, for the price of those cones last time I could have bought 12 quarts of ice cream at the grocery store! But with a few hours foresight, I was able to prepare a cool and refreshing Chocolate Silk Pie to reward my hard-working family for even less expense.

And no one even missed the ice cream.

This Chocolate Silk Pie is smooth & creamy, rich, and perfectly sweetened. The mixing is time consuming. But if you use a stand mixer and a timer, you can multi-task while it’s beating to redeem the time. Otherwise it’s an incredible simple dessert to prepare.  I imagine it might be quite delicious with a light chocolate whipped cream also.

Note: If  you are unable to resist sampling the filling before it has been chilled, as I’m sure will happen, you might notice the presence of sugar crystals. Don’t worry they won’t be noticeable after chilling.

Pie

And yes, you read the recipe correctly…. it does indeed contain raw eggs. As with any recipe calling for  raw eggs, I would recommend you only prepare Chocolate Silk Pie with clean, farm fresh eggs where the bloom hasn’t been washed away opening the pores and allowing for the introduction of harmful bacterias. Which is the number one reason to keep your own flock of backyard chickens.

    Hi, I was wondering if this pie gets frozen? Or not?

    Ummm…. raw eggs, uncooked, and fed to small children? That’s a no-no. You should be suggesting pasteurized eggs then. Bleach!
