PASTRY SHELL: Put chilled dry ingredients in food processor. Add chilled

Roll between two pieces of waxed paper to fit a 10" pie plate. Remove top
layer of waxed paper and place pastry onto pie plate. Remove paper, flute edge,
prick bottom with fork and bake at 450~ 10-12 minutes. Cool on a rack.

FILLING: Soften gelatin in cold water 5 minutes. Heat chips and coffee in
double boiler until melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add
gelatin, stir until dissolved. Beat egg yolks well. Add yolks, 1/4 C of the
sugar, salt and vanilla to chocolate.
Beat egg whites till foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 c sugar and beat till
stiff. Fold into chocolate mixture, pile lightly into shell. Chill until firm,
top with Whipped Cream. Freezes well and tastes great
