French Silk Pie



1/2 cup butter or margerine (1 stick)

3/4 cup sugar

1 square baking chocolate, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

1 baked pastry shell

1 cup heavy cream, whipped

1/2 cup chopped pecans



Cream butter until fluffy, add sugar and melted

chocolate, and vanilla.



Continue beating until light and creamy. Add eggs one

at a time, beating 3 minutes after each addition (this

is a very important step, as it will keep the

ingredients light and fluffy.) Pour into a cooled pie

shell.



Chill at least 3 hours.



Whip the cream until it stays in the bowl when bowl is

tipped. Cut the pie into serving pieces and place on

plates, Put a swirl of whipped cream on each piece and

sprinkle with chopped nuts.
