The Pie by Sox
The original silk pie recipe was just a chocolate silk pie. I modified the crust and and did two layers of filling for this one. Use a nutter butter crust, 1/2 batch of the peanut butter filling, 1/2 chocolate filling and the whipped topping recipe. To make it more easily make 2 pies, so you don't have to 1/2 up the filling recipe. The directions cover it all but you can always just follow the individual part recipes too.
