Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
3 eggs -- slightly beaten
1/4 cup creme de cacao
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pie shell -- baked
1/4 cup chocolate chips

(1) Preheat oven to 350 F. ln a medium saucepan over low heat melt
butter and chocolate. Remove from heat.

(2) Blend in sugar, eggs, liqueur, flour, vanilla and salt. Beat until
smooth.

(3) Pour into the pie shell. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until set.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. While still hot, spread the
chocolate morsels on top (addition by AKJ).

(4) Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. I've made it using chocolate
almond liqueur instead of creme de cacao. It came out OK, and had a hint
of a nutty flavor in the background.

I got this recipe firom a 1983 calendar. It's tried and true
and delicious. It's also very simple to make. I usually double the
recipe, since one pie never seems to last long enough. Maybe that makes
it a double double chocolate pie.

Diffculty: moderate. time: 20 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking and
cooling. Precision: measure the ingredients. Contributor Jeff Frontz
