    4      oz.           unsweetened chocolate
    1 3/4  sticks        unsalted butter (14 Tbsp)
    1 1/2  c.            sugar
    2      tbsp.         sugar
   30                    amaretti --  crushed
                         (Italian almond macaroons --  available at sp
                         foods shops & some supermarkets)
    4                    eggs --  room temp.
      1/4  tsp.          salt
    3      tbsp.         light corn syrup
      1/4  c.            heavy cream
      1/4  tsp.          almond extract
      3/4  tsp.          vanilla
    2      tbsp.         Amaretto
                         Whipped cream as an accompaniment
 
 	  In the top of a double boiler melt 1 ounce of the chocolate with   6
     tablespoons of the butter and let the mixture cool.  In a 9 x 3   inch
     springform pan combine 2 tablespoons of the sugar with the   amaretti,
     stir in the chocolate mixture, and combine the mixture   well.  Press the
     crumb mixture onto the bottom and 1/3 of the way up   the side of the pan
     and chill the crust.  In the top of a double   boiler melt together the
     remaining 3 ounces of chocolate and the   remaining 8 tablespoons butter
     and let the mixture cool.	In a bowl   with an electric mixer beat
     together the eggs and the salt, add the   remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, a
     little at a time and beat the mixture   until it is thick and pale.  Beat
     in the corn syrup, the heavy   cream, the vanilla, the Amaretto, and the
     chocolate mixture.  Pour	the filling into the crust, bake the pie in the
     middle of a   preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes and let it cool on
     a rack.   Run a thin knife around the edge of the pan, remove the side of
     the   pan, and serve the pie with the whipped cream.
