In reply to Jenni. Hi Jenni! So glad you enjoy this pie! Adding more chocolate or sugar will change the texture of the pie, so it might be a little tricky to do that. You could experiment with reducing the whipped cream - this will also change the texture, but it will make the chocolate silk part a bit heavier and richer, since the whipped cream is lightening up the pie! You could also experiment with the whipped cream on top, adding cooled but still liquid chocolate ganache to it, to make it a chocolate whipped cream. Also, in between the chocolate silk layer and the whipped cream, you could add a layer of peanut butter, or chocolate ganache, or even caramel sauce! I hope this helps!! Happy baking :)

I’ve made this pie the last two thanksgivings and we love it, but I’d love to make it even richer. What would be something I could alter to make it really really rich? More sugar? More chocolate? I’d say it is perfect as is for everyone else, but I like really really rich desserts that almost make you feel sick!

I am making this for thanksgiving my husband loves French silk pie, so does my brother-in-law and my grandson. I like it in small amounts too much chocolate for me but that’s me otherwise it’s gonna be a crowd pleaser at Thanksgiving. Thanks for posting this and I’ll let you know what I think of the pie

In reply to Nette. Hi Nette! As mentioned in the recipe, the pie can be stored for up to 2 days ahead of time without the whipped cream. We recommend adding the whipped cream shortly before serving for best results, as whipped cream loses its height, structure and pretty appearance, as well as beginning to weep, the longer it sits. We hope you and your son love this pie! Happy baking :)

My son requested French Silk for his birthday so I am going to make this pie this weekend. How long will the fully assembled pie keep? I am a cook not a baker however I love making cheesecakes!

Truly silky. Perfectly chocolately. Will 100% make again.

In reply to Jessica. Hi Jessica! A deep-dish pie pan is a little deeper and therefore makes a thicker pie, compared to some more shallow pie pans. Here are a couple of options for 9-inch deep dish pie pans: a ceramic deep-dish pie pan, and a metal pie pan, and a glass pie pan. Happy baking! :)
