    the Pie taste amazing. It was more dense than fluffy.. what could have caused that

      The filling requires a lot of beating with an electric mixer to incorporate air into the mixture. My guess is that you just needed to beat it a few more minutes. But luckily it still tastes good even when it’s not as fluffy. πŸ™‚

    How can I do this without a double boiler

      I don’t have a double boiler either, I used the option of placing a glass bowl over a saucepan. Works like a charm! Just make sure the bowl is larger than the saucepan so it doesn’t sink in so far that the bottom touches the water.

    Could this pie be made using just a hand mixer versus a kitchen aid mixer?

      Yes, you can definitely use an electric hand mixer. You may need to beat the egg mixture longer than 8 minutes if your hand mixer isn’t very powerful.

    Kara…you are killing my diet!!! I’m trying so hard to be good and not put back on the weight I lost but this is just to yummy to pass up. I’m going to the store for the ingredients in the morning. Another yummy looking treat.

      The pie held up ok perfect over night, but I have a secret for the whip cream topping.
      I sprinkle on a 1/2 teaspoon of unflavored knox gelatin before beating cream. Cover loosely. It holds up for 3 days.

    This French Silk pie is to die for. I made, for the first time, for Thanksgiving. I’m already planning to make it again for Christmas. Thanks you Kara for this wonderful recipe.
