Nut Crust

1 stick butter, melted
1 cup flour
2/3 cup finely chopped nuts

Filling
3/4 cup butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
3 large eggs

Whipping Cream
1/2 pint whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Chocolate shavings

Combine crust ingredients and blend well. Pat thin layer of mixture into
bottom and sides of a 10-inch pie pan. Bake in preheated 350 degrees
oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool. Cream butter and sugar thoroughly.
Blend in vanilla and chocolate and mix well. Add eggs one at a time,
beating with mixer on high speed for at least 5 minutes after each
addition. Pour mixture into a pie shell and chill in refrigerator for
several hrs. or overnight. The crust and filling freeze well at this
stage if making the pie ahead of time. Whip cream to soft peak stage.
Add sugar and vanilla and continue to whip until cream stands in firm
peaks. Spread over pie and grate unsweetened chocolate on top. 8
servings.
