I remember Katie Smith making a French Silk Pie for one of our Thanksgiving day gatherings at the Andrews. I'm not sure if it's Gayle's bubbly handwriting on the recipe card- it's definitely not Kate's which I still remember.
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 1/2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Cream butter well. Add sugar slowly while beating, then cocoa and vanilla.
Add eggs one at a time- beating 5 minutes minimum for each egg.
Crust: Crumble Old Fashioned Chocolate wafers (1 box) with hands or rolling pin to desired texture. Pour in melted butter* and stir until mixture is able to stick together.
Press into pie pan and pour in the filling. Top with cool whip and chocoalte shavings.
Best to refrigerate before serving.

This is an amazing recipe but I don't remember where I first got it. I thought it was in the old CAJ cookbook, but I do recall that it said you absolutely CANNOT scrimp on the beating time for each egg.
