    List of Ingredients




    Chocolate Almond Silk Pie from Kathy


    2/3 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup butter, softened
    3 tablespoons finely chopped almonds, toasted
    2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
    1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

    FILLING:
    3/4 cup sugar
    3 eggs
    3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
    1/8 teaspoon almond extract
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    Sweetened whipped cream and toasted sliced almonds, optional

    Recipe






    In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Beat on low speed until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. Pie plate. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
    For filling, combine sugar and eggs in a small saucepan until well blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon and reaches 160°. Remove from the heat.
    Stir in chocolate and almond extract until smooth. Cool to lukewarm (90°), stirring occasionally.
    In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add cooled egg mixture; beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Pour into cooled pie shell.
    Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and almonds if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
    Yield: 8-10 servings.
