I usually double the recipe, since one pie never seems to last long enough. Maybe that makes it a double double chocolate pie. 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. : Difficulty: moderate. : Time: 20 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking and cooling. : Precision: measure the ingredients. : Jeff Frontz : University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada : jhfrontz@violet.waterloo.edu {attunix,clyde}!watmath!jhfrontz : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
