Chocolate Fudge Pie

Ingredients It has a crisp pie crust, and a chocolate fudge filling that is about halfway between a dense fudge sauce and fudge candy. When timed carefully the filling is almost -- but not completely -- firm. An irresistable quality. Smooth as silk. You need a 9-inch Pyrex pie plate.

Pastry

4 oz cold and firm unsalted butter

1 C unsifted flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbl granulated sugar

3 Tbl ice water

Cut the butter (1 stick) lengthwise into quarters. Cut the pieces -- all together -- into 1/4 inch slices. Refrigerate. Place the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal chopping blade. Add the cold butter and pulse 4-5 times -- no more. With the motor running add the ice water all at once through the feed tube and process only for 7-8 seconds -- no longer. The ingredients should not hold together now. Remove from the processor bowl and press together until they hold together and form a ball. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a floured pastry cloth, with a floured rolling pin roll out the dough into a 13-inch circle. Roll it up loosely on the rolling pin and unroll it over the pie plate, centering it carefully. Carefully ease the dough down on the sides of the plate, making it a little thicker on the sides. Trim, fold and flute the edge as you wish. With a fork prick holes 1/4 inch apart in the bottom and sides of the pastry. Place the shell in the freezer for 15 minutes or more until it is firm. About 20 minutes before baking. adjust a rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. To keep the pastry from puffing up, cut a 12 inch square of aluminium foil and place it, shiny side down, in the frozen shell. Press it into place all over. Do not fold corners of foil over rim, let them stand up. Fill foil 3/4 full with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for about 13 minutes until set and slightly coloured on the edges. Remove plate from oven. Reduce heat to 400 degree F. Remove pie weights by lifting up corners of foil. Return plate to oven and continue to bake for 8-10 minutes. If shell starts to puff up anywhee, reach into oven and poke with cake tester to released rapped air. Bake till edges are golden and bottom is dry. Cool on a rack.

Filling

4 oz unsalted butter

4 oz unsweetened chocolate

4 large eggs

3 tsp corn syrup

1-1/2 C granulated sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 C milk

Lower oven heat to 350 degrees . In top of small double boiler over warm water on moderate heat melt butter and chocolate, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth. Set aside. In a bowl beat eggs to mix. Add corn syrup, sugar, salt, nutmeg, vanilla and milk. Stir to mix. Add chocolate mixture and beat well. Pour into prepared crust. Bake for about 33 minutes until a small sharp knife gently inserted near edge (all the way to the bottom) comes out barely -- but not completely -- clean. If knife is truly clean, the pie is overbaked. Cool to room temperature. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Serve with whipped cream.
