This recipe is a very minor adaptation of one printed in Southern Living Magazine as one of its all-time favorite 25 desserts ever. It is like pure fudge in a pie shell.
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 - 12 oz. Pkg. Semisweet chocolate, melted
2 tsp. Instant coffee granules
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (Pillsbury all ready pie crust if you don't like making your own)
Garnishes; whipped cream and chopped walnuts
Cream butter; gradually add brown sugar, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add melted chocolate, coffee granules, and vanilla extract; mix well. Stir in flour and nuts.
Pour mixture into pastry shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes; cool completely. Chill. Garnish.
