     Title: French Silk Pie
Categories: Pastry, Chocolate, Dairy
     Yield: 6 servings

     1    Sheet refrigerated pie
          - crust
   2/3 c  Sugar
     2 lg Eggs
     2 oz Unsweetened chocolate;
          - melted
     1 ts Vanilla extract
   1/3 c  Butter; softened
   2/3 c  Heavy whipping cream
     2 ts Confectioners' sugar
          Whipped cream & chocolate
          - curls; opt

 Cut pie crust in half. Repackage and refrigerate 1 half
 for another use. On a lightly floured surface, roll out
 remaining half into an 8" circle. Transfer to a 7" pie
 plate; flute edge.

 Line crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
 Bake at 450ºF/232ºC for 4 minutes. Remove foil; bake
 until crust is golden brown, about 2 minutes longer.
 Cool on a wire rack.

 In a small saucepan, combine sugar and eggs until well
 blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until
 mixture reaches 160ºF/71ºC and coats the back of a metal
 spoon. Remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate and
 vanilla until smooth. Cool to lukewarm (90°), stirring
 occasionally.

 In a small bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy,
 3-4 minutes. Add cooled chocolate mixture; beat on high
 speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

 In another large bowl, beat cream until it begins to
 thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff
 peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture.

 Pour into crust. Chill for at least 6 hours before
 serving. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls
 if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
