What is French Silk Pie?
In case you aren’t familiar with this decadent dessert, French silk pie is made with a pastry or cookie crust, rich and creamy chocolate filling, and topped with whipped cream.
It’s absolutely amazing when chilled and allowed enough time to set, something I tend to struggle with (ehem) because I know how decadent this is. You’ll know exactly what I mean once you try it!
