MOCHA PASTRY SHELL FILLING Prepare Mocha Pastry Shell; set aside. Place 1 square chocolate in top of double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until chocolate melts. Let cool. Cream butter at medium speed of an electric mixer. Gradually add brown sugar, and beat at medium speed 2-3 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Stir in melted chocolate and 2 teaspoon coffee powder. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 5 minutes after each addition. Pour filling into cooled pastry shell. Refrigerate at least 6 hours. About 1 or 2 hours before serving, combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons coffee powder in a large, chilled mixing bowl. Whip cream until soft peaks form (do not overbeat). Spoon over chilled filling. Sprinkle with grated chocolate if desired. Chill. Mocha Pastry Shell Use a fork to combine crumbled piecrust stick and chocolate in a medium bowl. Stir in walnuts and sugar. Combine water and vanilla; sprinkle over pastry mix. Mix with fork until mix forms a ball.
