Aunt da's french silk chocolate pie
Pies
I was lucky to grow up nearby my maternal great-aunt, Hilda, -but known to us as Aunt Da-for about ten years before she passed away. About a year ago, I was struck with a yen for a pie she made often during my childhood: French Silk. It's a creamy, lighter than air chocolate pie, and I had the most acute taste-memory of it but not the recipe. I called my Nanan, Aunt Da's daughter, and she rummaged through Aunt Da's recipe books and found it. <br />I made it once and loved it- it tasted just like I remembered- but felt our family crust (perfect for nearly every pie) just wasn't the perfect fit here. So I tweaked it a bit to be a bittersweet cocoa crust. Aah, divinity! I've got one in the fridge now. Hope you enjoy it!
