On this lovely day I offer a lovely recipe for chocolate/lavender silk pie. This is one I adapted from Elizabeth Labau’s Sugar Hero site.
You need a baked and cooled pie crust.
You then fill it with a lovely chocolate ganache.
Filling:
2 C heavy cream
2 T dried culinary lavender
2T granulated sugar
2 T light corn syrup
2T unsalted butter at room temperature
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Combine heavy cream, lavender, sugar and corn syrup in saucepan. Bring to boil and then immediately remove from heat. Cover with lid and steep for 15 minutes.
Return to heat and again bring to boil.
Remove from heat and pour through mesh strainer over chopped chocolate.
Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and shiny.
Add butter and whisk until melted in.
Cool mixture to room temperature. Whisk occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
Pour into cooled crust.
Garnish with whipped cream. I use cream whipped with lavender syrup and cocoa.
Enjoy!
