Chocolate Peppermint Pie Recipe from the Honorable Allison Silberberg

November 14, 2019

As y’all might already know, our friend, and former mayor of Alexandria, Allison Silberberg married us. We affetionately call her Rabbi! Here’s a treasured family recipe for Chocolate Peppermint Pie & picture she shared with us! xxx

Silberberg Pepperment Pie

Alison Silberberg
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. A lot of preparation went into this holiday at our house, and it was always joyful. Members of our extended family joined us, and we often played some touch football on the front lawn. There were about 25 or more family members who enjoyed the feast, and after we finished dinner, neighbors and friends came over to enjoy our dessert spread, including our beloved Chocolate Peppermint Pie. There was so much demand for this particular pie, we made two of these each year. Thanksgiving was always full of laughter and is a treasured memory for me. I feel very blessed.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 9 inch pie shell
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 3 squares semi-sweet chocolate 
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup flower
  • 1 large pinch salt
  • 2 T butter
  • 3 beaten egg yolks beaten
  • 1 T vanilla whipped cream
  • 2 large pepperment sticks or a dozen small (2 or 3 inches in height) candy cane peppermint sticks

Instructions

  • After the pie has chilled thoroughly, cover it with a generous portion of the freshly made whipped cream. 
  • Sprinkle the crushed peppermint over the whipped cream.
  • Keep the pie chilled until ready to serve. Best if made 24 hours in advance of serving. Enjoy!Pie Filling Pie ToppingsPie Assembly

This is a photo of my mother, Barbara Silberberg, my father, Al Silberberg, and my uncle, Erwin Schwartz, at Thanksgiving. The beloved Chocolate Peppermint Pie is on the dining table, and my father is enjoying a slice. It is divine.

Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know “pip pip” mimics the double honk on an early 20th century motorcar? It's an upperclass British colloquialism for farewell. 🎩 I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans!
This bit never gets old! This bit never gets old!
Guess what?!! My Zebra article is out! I’m so ex Guess what?!! My Zebra article is out! I’m so excited 😆. 

Beyond Camelot: The Life and Legacy of Jackie O starts on page 18! You can pick up print copies around town!!!

Monte Durham donated his entire Jackie collection to The First Ladies Library and we were there for the opening — all in Burberry! 

Links in bio for the article, the print edition, and some more Jackie stories.

This place is on Regent Street where the elegance of Mayfair merges with energy of Soho — and it is one great fashion show! When we’re in London we like to go here have drinks, an appetizer, and people watch. 😍

It popped up on my FB memories today. 🥰

Have ya been? Will you go? Let us know.

well done @milesdejiles 😘
Went to Barca last night. The staff couldn’t hav Went to Barca last night. The staff couldn’t have been nicer! We had a great time. 

It’s a small plate concept. We shared everything. But some favorites emerged. Miles really liked the BEEF TENDERLOIN with tomatoes, red wine, shallots, garlic, & jalapeños. And by far my fav was the JAMÓN SERRANO CROQUETAS with manchego & aleppo-orange honey. On my list to try next time are the STUFFED DATES with blue cheese, jamón serrano, & olive oil — they sound delish! 

It’s packed most of the time. But Tuesday around 4 o’clock we were seated straight away. It was pretty full by the time we left. We were conscious not to linger. But they never made us feel rushed. And they were super welcoming to the furry princess! 

Have ya been? Will ya go? Let us know! And follow us for more in Old Town.🍍⚓️💛

We’ve had a lot of strollers. And this Roodo is We’ve had a lot of strollers. And this Roodo is by far the best to go out dining with! It’s got a really small footprint without sacrificing space for the furry princess. And it was by for the easiest one to put together — it came folded like an umbrella and we just popped on wheels. 

Link to it on our blog. And you can link to that in our bio.

We had a leisurely lunch at Chart House, toasting Miles! Sipped a nice pale pink rosé in the shade and people watched in between courses. Limited menu compared to the olden days. But it was tasty. 

I love you so much @milesdejiles — thanks for sharing your day with us! 😘
