French Silk Pie

2 squares of chocolate
1 stick of butter - softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Melt chocolate on a double boiler. Set aside to cool for ten minutes. In an upright mixer cream together butter and sugar. Slowly add melted chocolate until well incorporated. With the mixer on high add one of the eggs and beat for five minutes. Then add the second egg and beat for another five minutes. Add vanilla and mix until incorporated.  Gently put into a cooked and cooled pie crust (see flakey pie crust post) and chill for at least two hours.

For topping add cool whip, or take 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread on chilled chocolate silk. Shave pieces of chocolate on top of whipped cream as a garnish and serve.

There is raw egg in this dish so be sure to chill when not being served.
