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.

May I ask what heat level you suggest using for the chocolate layer preparation? Your recipe doesn’t specify.
Bring to a boil over high, then you can reduce to med-high until it reaches 234°F!
What if I only have salted butter for the chocolate layer
It should still work!
I’m excited to try this, but I don’t have a springform pan. Could I use a glass casserole dish or a metal cake pan? Thank you!
You could use either, just make sure the crust doesn’t stick to the pan!
Hi, I am pretty good at deciphering recipes, but you got me on this one!! You mentioned “1/2 pkg 6 oz” of varuous chocolate. Do you mean
1 /2 of a 6 oz pkg OR that 6 ozs IS 1/2 of the pkg?? Since most chocolate chips come in 12 oz pkgs, I’m assuming you mean 6 oz = 1/2 of a pkg. Am I correct?? Thank you so so much. This looks absolutely delicious!!! I can not wait to make this for the holidays. Ciao!
Look very delicious! I like it! The instructions in your post very useful with me! Thanks your post!
