Chocolate Silk Pie

By adding Kahlua to this pie recipe adds for a better taste and your guests will be begging for seconds.

Ingredients
1 C. Sugar
6 oz. Butter
6 oz. Chocolate, bittersweet (unsweetened)
4 Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
1 Tbs. Kahlua (optional) (Coffee flavored liquor.)
1 Pie shell (9 inch), pre-baked
Whipped cream

Directions
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Set aside and allow to cool slightly. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the chocolate, vanilla and Kahlua (if used) and blend. With the mixer running, add 1 egg and beat for 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs (mixing each for 5 minutes). Pre-bake the pie shell and allow cooling. Pour the mixture into the shell. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (overnight is best). Be sure to thoroughly chill this no-bake pie before attempting to slice it. Serve cold, topped with whipped cream.
