INSTRUCTIONS
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.

over foil in the bottom of pie plate. Press pastry mix evenly into pie

1/2 inch pie plate; remove foil and wax paper. Return to 9 inch pie plate.
