No Bake French Silk Pie. The original version of French Silk Pie is made with a scratch-made pie crust that gets baked in the oven, but I make it with a no-bake cookie crust. It cuts the kitchen work in half and is every bit as good as the original pie. Whenever I take it to family dinners there's not a crumb left in the pie pan!
