DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

     CHOC-PIE-1 - A rich chocolate pie

     I got this recipe from 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.

INGREDIENTS (1 pie)
     1/2 cup   butter
     2 oz      unsweetened chocolate
     1 cup     sugar
     3         eggs, lightly beaten
     1/4 cup   creme de cacao liqueur
     2 Tbsp    all-purpose flour
     1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
     1/8 tsp   salt
     1         baked pie shell
               Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped (optional)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.  In 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.

          (4)  Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

NOTES
     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.

RATING
     Difficulty: moderate.  Time: 20 minutes preparation, 1 hour
     cooking and cooling.  Precision: measure the ingredients.
