]]> French Silk Pie Bars are a rich, creamy, and decadent dessert that combines the silky smooth texture of classic French silk pie with the convenience of a bar. Featuring a crisp chocolate cookie crust, a luscious chocolate mousse filling, and a fluffy whipped topping, these bars are a must-try for chocolate lovers.

Origin French Silk Pie Bars

French Silk Pie was first created in the United States in the 1950s, inspired by the rich textures of French desserts. Traditionally made with a buttery crust and a velvety chocolate filling, this pie has been transformed into easy-to-serve bars, perfect for parties and gatherings.

What I Love About This Recipe

The combination of the crisp chocolate crust with the airy, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate mousse is heavenly. The whipped topping adds just the right amount of lightness, making it a perfect balance of textures. I also love how these bars are easier to serve than a traditional pie, making them ideal for sharing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (200g) chocolate graham cracker crumbs

  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar

  • 2 ounces (55g) unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, mix chocolate graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, whipping for 3-4 minutes after each addition to create a silky texture.
  • Pour the chocolate filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread the whipped topping over the chilled chocolate layer.

Notes

  • Ensure the chocolate is fully cooled before adding it to the mixture to avoid melting the butter.
  • Beating the eggs properly is key to achieving a light, airy filling.

]]> Cherry Torte with Cherry Prosecco Syrup is a decadent dessert that perfectly balances the sweetness of cherries with the light, bubbly essence of Prosecco. This elegant torte is layered with moist cake and topped with a luscious cherry-infused syrup, making it an irresistible treat for any special occasion.

Origin Cherry Torte with Cherry Prosecco Syrup

The torte, a traditional European dessert, has roots in Austria and Germany, where it is typically a rich, multilayered cake filled with fruits, nuts, or creams. The addition of Prosecco syrup adds an Italian-inspired touch, bringing out the natural sweetness and tartness of cherries in a sophisticated way.

What I Love About This Recipe

The rich, buttery texture of the torte combined with the slightly tart cherry syrup creates an indulgent yet refreshing contrast. I love how the Prosecco enhances the cherry flavor, making each bite feel light and luxurious. This dessert is also visually stunning, perfect for celebrations or an elegant dinner party.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted

  • ½ cup (120ml) Prosecco

  • ½ cup (100g) sugar

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round 9-inch cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth.
  • Fold in the pitted cherries, then pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the torte cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine cherries, Prosecco, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  • Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly. Strain to remove cherry solids, if desired, and let cool.
  • Once the torte has cooled, drizzle the cherry Prosecco syrup over the top.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with fresh cherries and whipped cream.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Prosecco with sparkling grape juice or cherry juice.
  • If using frozen cherries, thaw and drain excess liquid before adding them to the batter.
