Recipe Instructions

CRUST: Mix all ingredients. Form like a dough and put into a Springform pan, about 1/4" thick around the bottom and sides. Put aside.

FILLING: Mix all ingredients. Put the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 24 hours.

After refrigeration: Bake 1/2 hour at a very low temperature - about 225F.

A too-hot oven will result in "mush." TOPPING: Fold butter and cocoa into cream. Sweeten with sugar to taste.

Top the pie. Serve at room temperature or slightly cooler.
