  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 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 large 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

 Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Beat on low speed until well combined, 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.
