Bakers Square French Silk Pie [0000498]

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free chocolate cookie crumbs (use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup whipped cream (dairy or dairy-free), for topping
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove it and let it cool completely.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Stir in the melted and cooled unsweetened chocolate and pure vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.

Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled gluten-free cookie crust.

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until it sets and becomes firm.

Prior to serving, spread a layer of whipped cream over the top of the pie.

Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
