1 cup Sugar
6 ounces Butter
6 ounces Chocolate, bittersweet (unsweetened)
4 Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 Tablespoon Kahlua (optional) (Coffee-flavored liquor.)
1 Pie shell (9-inch), pre-baked
Whipped cream
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Set aside and allow
to cool slightly. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter
and sugar until smooth. Add the chocolate, vanilla and Kahlua (if
used) and blend. With the mixer running, add 1 egg and beat for 5
minutes. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs (mixing each for 5 minutes).
Pre-bake the pie shell and allow cooling. Pour the mixture into the
shell. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours
(overnight is best). Be sure to thoroughly chill this no-bake pie
before attempting to slice it. Serve cold, topped with whipped
cream.
