1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter (*not* margarine)
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate — melted and cooled
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
1 9-inch baked pastry shell
Unsweetened whipped cream (optional) chocolate curls (optional)
In a small mixer bowl, cream sugar and butter about 4 minutes until fluffy. Stir in cooled chocolate and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed of electric mixer after each addition and scraping sides of bowl constantly. Turn into baked pastry shell. Chill several hours or overnight till set. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls, if desired. Cover and chill.
Notes: I’ve never made this but I have heard that you must use butter. Also, I’ve been told it helps if the ingredients are chilled (like the butter, the bowl, beaters, etc).
