CHOCOLATE SILK PIE (THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE PIE!)

I LOVE chocolate pie!!  Growing up it was the only pie I would eat.  Now I like most pies but if chocolate pie is an option there is no question that is the piece of pie I will have.  I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to share this recipe with you!  I have been searching for the perfect chocolate pie recipe for over a year now!  Last Thanksgiving I almost made the perfect chocolate pie but the chocolate filling was more like the consistency of pudding. I wanted something thicker.

So many times since last year I have searched for the perfect chocolate pie recipe.  I wanted my perfect chocolate pie to have an Oreo crust, thick chocolate filling, whipped cream and chocolate curls on top.  I can’t tell you how many times I spent searching everywhere on the internet for what I had in mind and nothing was what I wanted.  The main problem was either the chocolate filling was more of a creamy pudding like texture or it had raw eggs in it. And I don’t eat raw eggs. Pregnant or not.

• 48 Oreos
• ½ cup butter, melted
