How to Make French Silk Pie in a Jar
Create the crust: Mix all the crust ingredients together in a bowl. Divide the mixture between four jars and press into the bottom of the jars. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the filling: Heat the coconut cream over medium heat. Once the cream starts to simmer gently, add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate melts and completely combines with the coconut cream. Allow to cool slightly before dividing the filling between the four jars. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Add the topping: Just before serving, spread whipped coconut cream on top of the filling and sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Make-Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make-Ahead: This yummy dessert in a jar can be kept in the refrigerator for up to five days as long as you don’t add the whipped cream topping. Just screw the jar closed to keep it moist and refrigerate. Once you’re ready to enjoy this delicious treat, add the whipped cream and nut toppings and enjoy the creamy goodness.
To Freeze: Dark chocolate French silk pie in a jar freezes well and can be frozen for up to two months if you take some precautions. Make sure to fill the mason jars at most three-quarters of the way. If the jars narrow to the top, make sure not to fill them more than the start of the narrowing. This will leave an air space for the frozen dessert to expand as it freezes and prevents the jars from shattering.
