Baking with Honeypie Bakeshop: Chocolate French Silk Pies

Learn the tricks to making delicious chocolate French Silk pies with Valeri Lucks, co-founder and Chief Executive Pie Officer of Honeypie! In this pie lesson led by Honeypie's founder and Chief Executive Pie Officer, Valeri Lucks, we will we learn a shortening-based pastry crust and the how-to's of "blind baking" for the most crisp and flaky crust that holds creamy, dreamy pie fillings. While we learn how to make our own chocolate silk filling while we discuss the history of"French Silk" pie, it's variations and which French Silk inspired Valeri's life-long love of pie. You will go home with one completed 9" pie to share or to keep all to yourself.
