Why I Love This French Silk Pie Ice Cream
When it’s made well, French silk pie is a rich pie with deep chocolate flavor, not just a box of chocolate pudding in a pie shell. This French silk pie ice cream is definitely the former: an extra-deep chocolate ice cream that is thick and smooth, extremely decadent, and — dare I say — almost guilty? Ok, food should never be considered guilty; instead, it should be enjoyed with abandon.
Make this and enjoy the treat!
