Like other reviewers, I also only used 2 STICKS (1 cup) butter and 3 eggs. It was very rich and a little grainy even though after each egg I beat it 5 minutes each then an extra 5 after the third, so next time I will definitely cut the sugar to 1 cup.

I too was worried about the amount of butter. I read some of the reviews and some cut the butter down to 1 cup so I did that. But after whipping it I found I needed the full 2 cups of butter in order to fill my Pyrex fluted glass pan. Tasted great! Not too buttery at all. I also used 4 eggs which again worked perfect for me. If I were you I would try it the orginial way the first time and then makes any changes you feel are neccessary. I don't think this pie needs whipped cream either but that's just my taste. :-)

This pie looked beautiful and tasted great too at Thanksgiving. Some of my family thought it was too sweet, but I love sweet flavors so I was very pleased with it. No one turned it down and some had seconds!

I love this recipie! It has turned out perfect everytime and everyone raves about it! I used 2 sticks of butter but followed the rest of the recipe. I think the trick is beating for the full 5 minutes after each egg. I've never had a grainy taste to it, its always been smooth as silk. Thanks for the recipe!

This pie was very rich. It was not like a French Silk pie that I've had before. The texture seemed a little firm for French Silk. It looked like an Ice cream filling. Also the chocolate flavor was not enogh so I added some chocolate hersheys syrup. Which made it very taste good. But again the texture was what was weird to me.

Used only two STICKS of butter. Made sure to mix for 5 minutes after each egg. Topped with real whipped cream. I've made this numerous times - so rich and so good!

Good flavor but I'm not certain I'd bother making it again. I followed the recipe except for reducing the butter to 2 sticks instead of 2 lbs. I also used baker's sugar and pasteurized eggs, for added food safety. Unfortunately, despite using an extra fine sugar, it had a gritty consistency and it also came out overwhelmingly sweet. The relatively light brown color was disappointing for what should have been a rich chocolate pie.
