Pastry for single-crust pie
3 sqs. (3 oz.) unsweetened chocolate
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1 carton whipping cream

Prepare crust for 9 inch pie plate. Bake and cool completely. Melt chocolate and set aside.

In medium mixing bowl beat together sugar and softened (not melted) butter about 4 minutes - until light and fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate that has cooled to room temperature and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed for about 4 minutes after each addition - scraping sides of bowl constantly. Turn into pie shell. Chill several hours or overnight. Garnish with whip cream and chocolate curls. Cover and chill.
