Chocolate silk pie from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook: Recipes and Wisdom from an Obsessive Home Cook (page 222) by Deb Perelman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made this for a dinner party and my guests weren't talking while eating this--just making little yummy noises. The texture is amazing and it is super rich. I did make the chocolate wafer crust and would do so again even though I had to make the chocolate wafers first (they aren't available in the UK!). If you're using homemade chocolate wafers, you might be able to cut down the butter in the crust a bit, as the wafers themselves contain quite a lot of butter.

    The filling for this pie is wooonderful! Relatively easy as well, but without a stand mixer it would be more taxing. I was worried the sugar wouldn't melt into the butter and eggs, but after 15 minutes of whipping, the mixture was smooth as silk. I used a flakey all-butter piecrust, so I can't comment on the chocolate wafer crust, though I'm sure its delicious.
