Welcome back to week 2 of our Christmas in July recipes mini-series here on The Mom Maven. Last week I shared my Hot Cocoa Fudge Recipe. This week we are making Candy Cane French Silk Pie! Years ago I was known at work for my Chocolate French Silk Pies. The station manager at the radio station I worked at loved them so much he requested one for his birthday every year!

This Candy Cane or Peppermint French Silk Pie recipe actually makes 2 pies and, instead of using peppermint extract, which can taste like medicine, I used Young Living Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil. Essential oils are the most highly concentrated component of the natural oils in a plant. The oils capture the plant’s scent and flavor, or more commonly referred to as the “essence.” These compounds are extracted from various parts of each plant type through a process called distillation. The essential oils are not chemicals they are the essence of the actual plant so the smell and taste is pure!

Chocolate and Peppermint are the flavors of Christmas. Why not put them together in a creamy Candy Cane French Silk Pie?
