INGREDIENTS (1 pie)

½ cup     butter
2 oz     unsweetened chocolate
1 cup     sugar
3     eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup     creme de cacao liqueur
2 Tbsp     all-purpose flour
1½ tsp     vanilla extract
1/8 tsp     salt
1     baked pie shell
    Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream (optional)

PROCEDURE

(1)     Preheat oven to 350º 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.
