Tips Tricks and FAQs
- You can use any chocolate that you like, but I find that baking chocolate melts the easiest. Chocolate chips are great, especially if you like a sweeter chocolate, but they have a tendency to seize up easily. To avoid this, just make sure that you are microwaving a little at a time and you don’t overheat the chocolate.
- Be careful to get the right package of brownie mix! You want to make sure that you’ll have enough for a 9×13 pan. If you can’t find any larger-sized mixes, just grab 2 packages of the 9×9 size and it should work just as well!
- Try not to overmix the french silk mixture. You want it to be light and fluffy and if you do too much mixing you will knock the air out of it. Instead, gently fold the mixture with a rubber spatula just until ingredients are mixed together.
Storage
Store this brownie French silk pie recipe right in the baking dish covered with plastic wrap or a lid. Keep it in the fridge and it should last 3-4 days.
What chocolate should I top this french silk pie recipe with?
I’m a big believer that you can’t go wrong with any kind of chocolate. Mini chocolate chips and chocolate shavings work great for this recipe!
But our personal favorite is adding some homemade chocolate sauce to the top of this yummy dessert. You can top it with chocolate sauce when you serve or you can even pour some on top of the French silk mixture and swirl it in before letting the dish set.
