List of Ingredients
Chocolate Almond Silk Pie from Kathy
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons finely chopped almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
FILLING:
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup butter, softened
Sweetened whipped cream and toasted sliced almonds, optionalRecipe
In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Beat on low speed until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. Pie plate. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
For filling, combine sugar and eggs in a small saucepan until well blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon and reaches 160°. Remove from the heat.
Stir in chocolate and almond extract until smooth. Cool to lukewarm (90°), stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add cooled egg mixture; beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Pour into cooled pie shell.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and almonds if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 8-10 servings.
