Ingredients

Peppermint French Silk Pie

Pure Butter Pie Crust, baked
3 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 whole large pasteurized eggs

Peppermint Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Garnish

Crushed peppermint candies

Directions

Using an electric stand mixer start by creaming butter until it is smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour in sugar and beat until fluffy. This could take a full 2 minutes, be patient!
Mix in melted chocolate and peppermint until well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Add in eggs, 1 at a time, beating on medium-high for 2 minutes after each addition. You want to fully incorporate eggs and incorporate enough air for pie to be light and fluffy.
Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pie crust and place in fridge.
Make peppermint whipped cream by whisking heavy cream until you have soft peaks. Add in powdered sugar, vanilla, and peppermint extract and beat until stiff peaks.
Spread whipped cream over chocolate layer and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy.
Let pie set in the fridge for 4 hours before slicing to serve.
