Sammy’s French Silk Chocolate Pie    :

Yields: 8 servings

" How can something so simple taste so rich and delicious? Butter is creamed, and melted chocolate, a teaspoon of vanilla and two eggs are stirred in. This luscious batter is then beaten until thick and fluffy, poured into a baked pie shell, and then chilled. Whipped cream and a sprinkling of nuts add the crowing touch."

INGREDIENTS:

1 prepared 8 inch pastry shell, baked and cooled
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup white sugar
2 (1 ounce) squares
unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Cream butter. Gradually add sugar, creaming well. Blend in melted and thoroughly cooled chocolate and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 5 minutes after each addition with an electric mixer on medium speed. Pour into cooled, baked pie shell.

2.  Chill for at least 2 hours. Top with whipped topping and walnuts, if desired.
