Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:
Crust
1 3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/3 to 1/2 cup ice water

Filling
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon chocolate or coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
2 tablespoons milk
2 eggs
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine first three ingredients. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut shortening and butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add water slowly, mixing with a fork. Add only enough water to gather dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill. This dough is stickier than ordinary pie pastry. Roll out between two pieces of waxed paper. Line an 11-inch false bottom flan/quiche pan with pastry.

In top of double boiler or in a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate. Stir in remaining ingredients except nuts. Pour into prepared pastry. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake in preheated 375 F oven for 30-35 minutes until set in center. Filling will puff slightly and crack. Cool on wire rack. Remove sides of pan. It's very rich, so a small slice is sufficient.
