Authors Notes: I got this recipe from a 1983 calendar. Its tried and true and delicious. Its 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.

Ive 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.

Difficulty : moderate. Precision : measure the ingredients.
