   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2  cup           sugar
      1/2  cup           cocoa
    3                    eggs -- slightly beaten
    1 1/4  cups          light corn syrup
      1/2  cup           heavy cream
      1/2  cup           hazelnut liqueur
      1/2  cup           butter -- melted
      3/4  cup           hazelnuts -- halved
    1      cup           mini-chocolate chips
    1      9-inch        unbaked pie shell, edges crimped high
                         Lightly sweetened whipped cream -- optional
 
 Mix the sugar and cocoa thoroughly, add to the eggs. Add the corn syrup,
 cream, hazelnut liqueur, and melted butter. Mix well. Add the hazelnuts and
 chocolate chips, mix and pour into the pie shell. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes
 in a 350F oven until the filling is set. It will puff up slightly and cracks
 will form around the edges. As the pie cools it will settle. The texture is
 similar to a wet brownie, but the taste is of an incredibly rich fudge.
 Serve in small slices.
