I tried this receipe and the flavor was good, no AS aftertaste, but it tastes like chocolate grease! Would it work better if I beat the egg whites and folded them in at the end?

Default French Silk Pie

Ok I made this pie from a post waaaayyy back in November. Azure posted the recipe adapted to LC from Martha Stewart. Mine turned out bitter. Is it supposed to be bitter-that bitter? Also is unsweetened chocolate darker than regular sweetened chocolate? My choc w/no sugar was really dark and I didn't bother to read the box and I may have gotten dark chocolate which would have made it more bitter. I want to serve this at BUNCO. Help! Did I do something wrong?

Thanks,
Wendi

I've never made this recipe but my experience with unsweetened chocolate is that it is bitter. Its probably just that you dont care for the chocolate taste. You might adjust the sweetener some to try to make it sweeter. The unsweetened chocolate that I have used, Bakers and Nestle is relatively dark colored. The taste of it, even with splenda added, is more like dark chocolate than milk chocolate so if you arent a fan of dark choclate, that might be why you dont care for it. I have tried to make it more milk chocolate like with extra splenda and cream, but its just not the same.

I looked at the box and it is just regular unsweetened. I found another recipe which I think will help. The original was:
1 1/2 stick butter
1 cup Splenda
3 oz Unsweetened chocolate
3 eggs
1.5 Tsp vanilla Extract

The revised version:
1 stick butter
2 oz chocolate
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 c Splenda

And it was wonderful. I made the revision for BUNCO with real sugar for the non-LCers and they tasted the LC and said not much difference.

Thanks for your reply.

Default french silk pie

Just wondering if anyone had trouble dishing this pie out of the pan? The pie is absolutely wonderful( superb in fact) but when I went to dish it out, it wanted to stick and crumbled a bit. Suppose I could spray the pie plate before adding mixture?

Someone had a great suggestion (I'm too lazy to go look up who) about putting plastic wrap in the dish before pouring in the "batter". Then you can slide the piece you want, and pull up the edge of the plastic wrap to dislodge it.

I made the silk pie and it still has the strong taste of the bakers chocolate. Does that mean there is not enough sweetener in it? I decided to fold the whipped cream into the silk pie after it set in the fridge for 45 min. Hopefully that will make it creamier (took the suggestions of one of the posts.) I wonder how this would taste with some creame cheese in it?

so I messed up and used all salted butter. I didn't reaize there was salted butter in the house. Oops. Here's the problem. My pie tastes horribly salty. It's actually unedible. Is there anything I can do to save this pie? Everything else is great, just tastes like a salt lick.

HEHEHE That actually sounds like a PMS dream! Chocolate AND Salty? I might have to try that
I actually did something like that before and I think it might be time to say goodbye to the creation.
