French Silk Pie has always been my very favorite pie. Something about that creamy chocolate, whipped cream topping, and cute chocolate curls on top. I just can’t get enough of it!

How to Make French Silk Pie Fudge
Fudge is a lot easier to make than it looks. It’s made in layers, and then cooled to set it all into place. In the end, you have one seriously delicious chocolate fudge recipe! I love making this French Silk Pie Fudge during the holidays to share with guests.
- Graham Cracker Crust – Use a food processor to make the graham cracker crust, and then press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before adding the second layer.
- Chocolate Layer – Make the chocolate mixture in a saucepan. Then pour it over the graham cracker crust in an even layer, and let it cool in the freezer. Make sure it has set before adding the last layer.
- White Chocolate Layer – Make the white chocolate layer in a saucepan. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes, then pour over the chocolate fudge layer. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator until it becomes firm.
- Sprinkle the fudge with chocolate shavings, and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow everything to finish setting.
- Cut & Serve – Once the fudge has fully set, remove it from the pan. Cut it into slices to serve.
To store this chocolate fudge freezer pie, place it in an airtight container. It will keep at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 1 month, or in the freezer for up to 4 months. See the recipe card below for detailed instructions.
No Christmas dessert spread will be complete this year without this adorable French Silk Pie Fudge! I just can’t get enough, and I hope that you love it as much as we do!

Recommended Equipment
Kitchen Scale (optional)

Instructions
For the Crust
Place the graham crackers in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until the crackers are crushed. (OR, place the crackers in a Ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.)
7 graham cracker sheets
Add the butter to the graham cracker crumbs and process until the butter and crumbs become like coarse sand.
4 tablespoons salted butter
Add the sugar and process for 5 seconds.
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Press the mixture firmly in an 8-inch springform pan and refrigerate 20-30 minutes before filling.
For the Chocolate Layer
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and butter. Bring to a rolling boil and cook, stirring continuously, until the temperature reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat and add the Marshmallow Crème, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Stir until well combined.
⅔ cup evaporated milk, 3 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsalted butter, 7 ounces Marshmallow Crème, 6 ounces milk chocolate chips, 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pour the chocolate fudge over the graham cracker crust, and place it in the freezer to cool and set until firm, about 20-30 minutes.
For the White Chocolate Fudge Layer
Place the white chocolate and milk in a small saucepan set over LOW heat.
12 ounces white chocolate, 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Stir until the chocolate is half melted, then remove from heat.
Set aside for a few minutes to allow the remaining chocolate to melt.
Stir until smooth and cool, about 5 minutes.
Pour over the chocolate layer and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator until almost firm.
Sprinkle with chocolate shavings and keep in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
Remove from the refrigerator, remove the French Silk Pie Fudge from the springform pan, and cover tightly. When ready to serve, slice into thin slices.
