Homemade french silk pie

For the last 2 years, I have made homemade pies for Thanksgiving. Mostly on account of the fact that I am too stubborn and cheap to go out and buy pies. Unless everyone is lying to me, this recipe is scrumptiously delicious. I wouldn’t know because I don’t like pie. I just make it for everyone else’s enjoyment 🙂 It’s from The Pioneer Woman, so how could it not be amazing?

A word of advice: do not attempt this without a handy stand mixer. The first year, I made it with my little hand mixer. This resulted in me standing with it in my hand for 20 MINUTES. I got smart and borrowed my mom’s Kitchenaid mixer this year and I was able to make 2 pies in the time it took me to make 1 before.

Yes, I made the chocolate curls myself. For some reason this year they were a bit more difficult than last, but I think I may have spread the chocolate a bit too thick.

If you’re planning on making a french silk pie, look no further. THIS is it.

Don’t forget your adorable baking assistant. Bean helped me out immensely by doing “The Mixer Dance” aka shimmy and shaking around in a circle while the mixer did it’s job.
