French Silk Pie Bars
These French Silk Pie bars have a delicious chocolate graham cracker crust with a creamy, yet light-as-air, chocolate mousse filling.
This pie is a fantastic recipe to have on hand for just about any occasion, and it’s so much easier to make than you might think. Top it with my favorite homemade whipped cream, or make it extra rich with a little chocolate ganache drizzled on top!

Recipe Overview:
You’ll love how simple this recipe is! It’s all done in three very easy stages:
- Make the crust. Crush up the graham crackers, mix the crumbs with butter and sugar, press in the pan, and bake!
- Make the filling. In a nutshell: melt the chocolate and mix everything up in a stand mixer. It really is that easy.
- Chill and top! Let the bars chill for a while, and then add the whipped cream and chocolate shavings to the top.
French Silk Pie Time Savers
If you're in a pinch for time, try substituting one of these shortcuts for their coordinating component in the pie.
Simple Pudding Mousse
This simple pudding mousse uses instant pudding and Cool Whip to make a fabulous pie filling in a hurry.
Graham Cracker Crust
If you don't have chocolate graham crackers on hand, don't worry. This graham cracker crust would taste amazing with a French Silk Pie filling on top!
The Best Homemade Whipped Cream Recipe
When I'm in a rush, I love to use Cool Whip from the store. But when I don't have any on hand, it's WAY easier just to make my own than it would be to pack all the kids in the car and take them grocery shopping with me. This homemade whipped cream comes together in a flash, and it won't deflate on you no matter how long you store it in the fridge.

Whoa now. This is serious business. Chocolate overload, methinks–but that pie crust dipper picture with the chocolate pie dip on top–I may have licked the screen on that one. You’re a master dipper, Ashton!
Love the pie dip, (French Silk is my favorite), love the pie crust dippers, love the blue finger nail polish! 🙂
Um. I don’t even know what to say to this. I don’t think I could just use one of the little pie crust dippers, I would probably be using a spoon!
French Silk is one of my favorite pies!!! I am pretty sure I will eat all of this by myself when I make it:-)
Love this! I’ve been wanting to try from-scratch pudding. This is great! You keep amazing me with your dips!
Oh my goodness! My little man (20 months) just recently tried chocolate and he absolutely LOVES it…he also loves to dip everything! I am totally making this for him for Easter dessert!
Oh YUM! I gained most of my baby weight by eating French Silk Pie Blizzards- I will have to save this recipe for a special treat now that I am trying to lose the baby weight, haha!

This was a SUPER hit at the Dessert Social our parent group hosted for our teachers and staff at my daughter’s high school. AND, the amazement over the flavors and yumminess of the PB&J pop corn (https://www.somethingswanky.com/peanut-butter-and-jelly-popcorn/) was fun to see, too. I’ll come back to your site again and again to show the staff the love through food!
