Author's Notes:
I got this recipe from a 1983 calendar. It's tried and true and
delicious. It's also very simple to make. I usually double the recipe,
since one pie never seems to last long enough. Maybe that makes it a double
double chocolate pie.

I've made it using chocolate almond liqueur instead of creme de cacao.
It came out OK, and had a hint of a nutty flavor in the background.

Difficulty : moderate.
Precision : measure the ingredients.
