 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      cup           sugar
      3/4  cup           butter (*not* margarine)
    3      ounces        unsweetened chocolate  -- melted and cooled
    1 1/2  teaspoons     vanilla
    3                    eggs
    1                    9-inch baked pastry shell
                         Unsweetened whipped cream (optional)
                         chocolate curls (optional)
 
  In a small mixer bowl, cream sugar and butter about 4 minutes until
  fluffy.  Stir in cooled chocolate and vanilla.  Add eggs, one at a
  time, beating on medium speed of electric mixer after each addition
  and scraping sides of bowl constantly.  Turn into baked pastry shell.
  Chill several hours or overnight till set.  Garnish with whipped cream
  and chocolate curls, if desired.  Cover and chill.
 
  Notes: I've never made this but I have heard that you must use butter.
  Also, I've been told it helps if the ingredients are chilled (like
  the butter, the bowl, beaters, etc).
