How to make French Silk Pie From scratch?

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix together 2 plus ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup melted butter in a bowl. Transfer this graham cracker mixture to the cake pan. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to create a crust. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
2. Melt 2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate in the microwave. Cream ½ cup softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add ¾ cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy. Then, add cooled to the room temperature melted chocolate. Mix until completely combined.
3. Add 2 eggs (one at a time), beat for 5 minutes. You need to beat the eggs for a long time to make a really fluffy pie.
4. Transfer this chocolate filling to the cooled crust. Refrigerate.
   
5. Beat 4 oz softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. Then, add ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
6. Add ½ cup cooled heavy cream. Beat until combined. Then, add the remaining ½ cup heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
7. Place the whipped cream filling on top of the chocolate layer. Refrigerate.
8. Add ⅓ cup chocolate chips and 1 tsp shortening to the microwave-safe bowl. Melt. Then, mix to combine. Spread this chocolate mixture in a thin layer on the back of the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or until hardened. Then, make the curls using a metal spatula or a knife. Decorate the French silk pie with these chocolate curls.

Recipe tips;

1. Don’t forget to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, to be sure that all of the ingredients are mixed completely.
2. If you don’t have enough time to make the chocolate curls, you can decorate French silk pie with chopped chocolate
3. It isn’t necessary to bake the crust, you can just chill the crust in the refrigerator.
4. Use a cooled whisk, mixing bowl, and heavy cream to make a stiff peak form.
