My grandma is a legend when it comes to jello.
Everyone remembers her for her jello. She didn't learn to cook until she was married. Everything she made was simple and wholesome. She was amazingly organized and clean. A modern lady and an old fashioned mom whose table was always full and always ready for family.

French Silk Pie

FRENCH SILK PIE

This recipe makes more than a 8in pie.  It makes about 1 1/2 pies so I put the rest in cups for the boys.  You can make a 9in with it easy too and there is still a little leftover.
I make an oreo crust but you can use a regular pie crust (which is traditional for french silk).
3/4 C sugar
3/4 C butter (softened)
1 C (6oz) semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 C refrigerated egg product
Mix butter and sugar in a mixer until really fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).  Melt chocolate chips in microwave. Stir in melted and cooled chocolate chips and vanilla.  Gradually add refrigerated egg product and beat on high, scraping the sides, till light and fluffy.  Put in pie crust and chill overnight (or at least 3-4 hours if you can wait that long)
