  • French Silk Pie is actually super easy to make, the hardest part is waiting for the chocolate filling to solidify. Yes, it’s hard and it totally stinks waiting!
    Hopefully though I’ll at least make this recipe fool proof for you so that you can whip it up and serve it to your friends.

    Ingredients for this French Silk Pie Recipe:
    For the crust:
    1 ½ cups of Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Flour
    1 stick of unsalted butter
    pinch of sea salt
    2 teaspoons of sugar
    ¼ cup of ice cold water
    For the Filling:
    3 cups of heavy whipping cream
    1 cup of unsalted butter
    4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate
    ½ cup of sugar + 2/3 more
    4 eggs, feel free to use pasteurized if raw eggs make you nervous
    Procedures:
    1. For the Crust: Preheat the oven to 450°.
    2. add the flour, butter, salt and sugar to a food processor and pulse on high speed while drizzling in the water until it becomes like a meal. Note: you may need a bit more water.
    3. Transfer the dough to a clean surface dusted with flour and roll the dough out with a pin until it is 1/8 thick.
    4. Form the dough to a 9” pie pan cutting off any excess and crimping the edges to make a ripple around the outside.
    5. Add a piece of parchment paper over top of the pie crust followed up with some dried beans and park bake for 6 minutes.
    6. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
    7. Filling: Add the heavy cream and ½ cup of sugar to a standing mixer with the whisk attachment and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks have formed, about 3 to 5 minutes.
    8. Set 1/3 of the whipped cream into a separate container but chill both the 1/3 and 2/3 in the refrigerator until it’s time to use it.
    9. Add the chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir and return to the microwave for :30 seconds. Stir and return to the microwave for :30 more seconds. At this point it should be melted. Cool to room temperature
    10. Add the butter and sugar to a standing mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on high speed until the butter becomes light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
    11. Next add in 2 of the eggs and beat for 2 minutes before adding in the other 2 eggs. Beat for a further 3-4 minutes or until smooth and fluffy.
    12. Fold in the chilled 1/3 cup of heavy cream using a rubber spatula until all of the white cream has been mixed in.
    13. Transfer the filling to the par baked pie crust and smooth out using a spoon or spatula.
    14. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
    15. Top off with remaining chilled whipped cream and add optional garnish of shaved chocolate.

    I tried the pie chef and it was absolutely amazing. Thanks for another great recipe. However I was wondering, if I could get your opinion and maybe a recipe for a soup. Since I know you commented in a previous video that you love soup during cold weather, I was wondering if you could help me out. I need a recipe for ham and beans soup. I did a ham for Christmas and saved that hambone. I want to do my grandmother's ham and bean recipe but she has passed on. No one in the family can locate the recipe. It's very cold and snowy and wintery here in Montana so I thought this would be a great crock pot soup. Do you have a recipe? Could you do a video?

    The recipe in the video description is inaccurate - it omits a couple steps and an ingredient. Here is a corrected version, without the crust recipe, since you can use another recipe or buy a pre-made crust for that - I prefer Oreo :)
    French Silk Pie
    3 Cups of heavy whipping cream
    1 Cup of unsalted butter, softened
    4 Ounces of semi-sweet chocolate
    1/2 + 2/3 Cups of sugar
    1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
    4 eggs (feel free to use pasteurized if raw eggs make you nervous)
    Whipped Cream:
    1. Add the heavy cream and 1/2 cup of sugar to a standing mixer with the whisk attachment and whisk on high speed until stiff peaks have formed, about 3 to 5 minutes.
    2. Divide the whipped cream into two containers, 1/3 in one and the remaining 2/3 in the other. Chill both in the refrigerator until it’s time to use it.
    Filling:
    1. Microwave chocolate (in a microwave safe bowl) for 1 minute. Stir and return to the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and return to the microwave for 30 more seconds. At this point it should be melted. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
    2. Add the butter and sugar to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on high speed until the butter becomes light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
    3. Add the vanilla and beat to incorporate
    4. With the mixer on slow, drizzle in the chocolate and mix to incorporate until the mixture is a consistent color
    5. With the mixer on slow, add in 2 of the eggs. Beat for 2 minutes before adding in the other 2 eggs. Beat for a further 3-4 minutes or until smooth and fluffy.
    6. Remove bowl from mixer and fold in the chilled 1/3 cup of heavy cream using a rubber spatula, until all of the white cream has been mixed in.
    7. Transfer the filling to a prepared pie crust and smooth out using a spoon or spatula.
    8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
    9. Top off with remaining chilled whipped cream and add optional garnish of shaved chocolate.

      as with much of programing, our terror about "raw eggs" is media driven. The majority of the world does not even refrigerate eggs. Eggs are in a perfectly solid encasement that _protects_ them from coming in _natural_ contact with things that will transfer salmonella into them. The signs that one is handling a compromised egg are NOT subtle. I'd be *_FAR_* more worried about shooting aluminum adjuvants directly into your blood stream than I would about the one in a millions chance a chef is NOT going to _throw_ away a stinky egg..

    • @SuzanneBaruch
      @SuzanneBaruch Před 3 lety

      Technically, a pasteurized egg is not "raw." Chef Billy has been clarifying in the comments section that he's using pasteurized eggs; however, this really should have been stated in the ingredients list and in the video, as this channel is primarily aimed at novice cooks. In the US, unless you're getting your eggs from your own chickens or a private farm that you trust, *it is not safe* to consume raw, unpasteurized eggs. Salmonella can enter the egg even before it's formed within the chicken, but it can also enter if the egg is commercially treated prior to sale. An egg contaminated by salmonella will appear and smell normal.
      Contrary to what someone else in this thread has written, *this is not a "media-driven" concern -- this is SCIENCE.* Just as you wouldn't eat raw chicken due to salmonella concerns, *do not eat raw, unpasteurized eggs.*

    • @SuzanneBaruch
      @SuzanneBaruch Před 3 lety +1

      @@inTruthbyGrace you need to read more about this subject. Quite often, the primary way salmonella enters an egg is prior to it being formed. Refrigeration has no effect on salmonella -- it's a bacteria that either is or is not present within the egg. If you break open an egg that's contaminated by salmonella, it does not look or smell any different. Here in the US, *no one should ever eat raw, unpasteurized eggs* that come from commercial farms. This is different in other countries, where the salmonella problem is either non-existent or minimal.

  • @SuzanneBaruch
    @SuzanneBaruch Před 3 lety

    Chef, since this channel is aimed at novice cooks, I really do think you should have clarified within the ingredients list and on your website that you're using pasteurized eggs. Someone who's just learning to cook or bake would be clueless about this, and I know you don't want anyone to get sick or (Lord forbid!) die. Would you please edit your ingredients list above and your web site? I think this would be the prudent thing to do.

    • @ChefBillyParisi
      @ChefBillyParisi  Před 3 lety

      Definitely not geared towards novice cooks. I almost only ever use unpasteurized eggs for this recipe. If people are nervous, they can absolutely buy pasteurized eggs although they are becoming harder to find. In addition there are plenty of notes around pasteurized eggs in my chef notes on the recipe on my website.
