The silk pie is fantastic. Very easy to make. I did follow the suggestion made previously and beat 5 minutes instead of 2. It is just so silky. Would it be possible for you to change the recipe, if you do not read the reviews and make the pie beating 2 minutes it will be very grainy.

Oh great! Just realized after I put all the eggs in and the recipe said put in refrigerator that eggs you buy at the store are not pasteurized! Good to know...had to dump it. What a waste!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is about the grittiness. The only way to take care of that issue is to mix it longer than two mintues. Add one egg at a time and beat the mixture for 5 minutes between adding each egg.That will take care of the gritty texture.That and add a touch more chocolate.

Disappointed - gritty from the sugar, however, it was lessened as it sat. Not too much chocolate flavor either. I followed directions exactly as written. Will not make it again, and feel ot was a waste of ingredients.

This is a great pie! It was very simple to make. One small problem though, it was a tiny bit gritty from the sugar. But it was still amazing! I will make it again and again.

This is one of my favorite pies. I have been making it for decades, but the original recipe is slightly different. It calls for 3/4 cup butter and 3 eggs. I also use only 3/4 cup sugar. I have made it with less chocolate for my husband who prefers it that way. Be sure and use whipped cream, not dessert topping like Cool Whip.

I use Nestle's premelted chocolate packets instead, cuts down on prep time, and our own farm fresh eggs. It has always turned out great, many compliments and requests for it at every holiday! It's a very rich pie!

The trick with this recipe is making sure you beat each egg long enough. This will prevent the sugar granules from making the pie filling taste "gritty" or sandy. Fabulous recipe!
