TRACY'S TRUFFLE PIE
1 Oreo cookie crust (or make your own chocolate crust - anything goes)
3/8 lbs butter (1-1/2 sticks)
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 pint whipping cream
(Optional - a drop or two of any candy flavoring you fancy)
1 oz. ground almonds
1/2 pint whipping cream
2 T amaretto
Sugar to taste, optional
1/2 t cocoa
Melt the butter, chocolate and cream in a double boiler until completely
smooth. Set aside. Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the bottom of the
crust and spoon the chocolate mixture over the top. Refrigerate until
firm. Whip the cream until very stiff, add the amaretto (and sugar, if
desired) and pipe into rosettes on the pie. Dust with cocoa.
This is more of a candy than a pie, and is best served with *good*
coffee. I'm taking this to my father-in-law's house today for
Thanksgiving! I don't know how many servings it makes, use your own
judgement...and I've never found out how long it keeps because we
can't keep it after it's been cut.
Tip: the flavor is best when it stays in the 'fridge a day or two before
serving.
