Easy Bakers Chocolate Peanut Butter Silk Pie Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER SILK PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping; pour into prepared crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with peanuts. If desired, top with additional whipped topping, chocolate sauce and peanut butter sauce.

FRENCH SILK PIE

Steps:

• I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin making this pie. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking (next step).
• On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (use the 2nd pie crust for another recipe!). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is completely smooth. To make a lovely thick edge, I do not trim excess dough around the edges. Instead, fold the excess dough back over the edge and use your hands to mold the edge into a nice thick rim around the pie. Crimp the edges with a fork or use your fingers to flute the edges. Carefully line the inside of the pie with two pieces of parchment paper or aluminum foil, as shown in the photos above, then pour in the pie weights. Make sure the weights are evenly distributed around the pie dish. Chill the dough in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes- this helps prevent the crust from shrinking. (You can actually fill with pie weights before or after chilling, it doesn't make a difference.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Bake the cold pie crust (with weights!) for 15 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and carefully lift the parchment paper/aluminum foil (with the weights) out of the pie. Prick all over the bottom of the pie crust with a fork, which is called "docking" the pie crust and helps prevent air bubbles. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash. Return the crust to the oven and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 more minutes.
• Cool pie crust completely. You can do this up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover cooled crust tightly and refrigerate until ready to fill.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Stiff peaks hold their peak shape and do not droop. Set whipped cream in the refrigerator (covered or uncovered, doesn't matter) until step 8. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate. You can melt it in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stopping and stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Set aside until the end of the next step.
• Whisk eggs and sugar together in a heatproof bowl or the top piece of a double boiler. Place over a pot of simmering water (or the bottom part of your double boiler) on medium heat. Do not let the surface of simmering water touch the bottom of the heatproof bowl. Whisking constantly, cook the egg mixture until it reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant read thermometer, about 10-11 minutes. Do not stop whisking or the eggs may solidify. If the steam gets too hot over your hand, use an oven mitt. Carefully remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. After cooling, slowly stir in the melted chocolate. To prevent curdling, cool for another 10 minutes before using in the next step.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl. With the mixer running on low speed, pour in the chocolate/egg mixture and then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 3 minutes. With a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped cream until combined.
• Spread filling into cooled pie crust. (A small offset spatula is helpful for this.) Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until chilled and thickened. Pie may be refrigerated for up to 2 days before serving.
• Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Medium peaks are between soft/loose peaks and stiff peaks and are the perfect consistency for topping and piping on desserts. Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top. Garnish with chocolate curls (see notes), if desired. Serve immediately or chill the pie uncovered up to a few hours.
• Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SILK PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the flour and salt. Dice up the butter and shortening. Using a pastry cutter or stand mixer, cut in your butter and shortening until it is about the size of oats.
• Add the egg and vinegar and just enough water for your dough to combine.
• Mix and knead your dough until combined. Be careful not to over knead.
• Wrap your dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 4 hours or overnight in the fridge.
• Roll out your dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
• Transfer your dough onto a pie dish and press it down into the dish.
• Trim off the extra dough around the edges.
• Tuck your edges in and then crimp them using your thumb on one hand and your thumb and index finger on the other.
• Brush your crust with an egg wash. Using a fork poke some holes in the bottom of your pie crust to keep it from puffing up.
• In your crust place parchment paper and pie weights (or rice or oats).
• Bake your crust at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Then take out the pie weights and parchment paper. Continue to bake your crust for another 35 minutes. At about the last 15 minutes, lightly place some aluminum foil on the top of your crust if the edges are getting too brown.
• Let cool completely.
• In a sauce pan whisk together your eggs and sugar. Cook on low while continuously whisking, until your mixture gets pale in color and fluffy (160 degrees F).
• Remove from heat and add your chocolate, vanilla, and peanut butter.
• In a separate bowl, cream your butter then add your chocolate mixture. Beat until light and fluffy.
• In a separate bowl add your heavy cream and whisk on high until you get stiff peaks.
• Fold your whipped cream into your chocolate mixture.
• Pour your filling into your prepared pie shell.
• Refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
• In a bowl whisk together your heavy cream and powdered sugar until you reach stiff peaks.
• Add your whipped cream on top of your pie and then top with some shaved chocolate.
• Serve cold and enjoy!
