This pie is absolutely the most sinfully delicious ever. The crust is the really unique feature! It originally came from a restaurant in La Cienga, CA some 35 years ago.

  • ¾ cup finely chopped pecans

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 4 (1 ounce) squares German sweet chocolate, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

Fold 1/3 of the cream into the melted chocolate, then fold the chocolate mixture back into the whipped cream until no streaks remain. Work quickly to prevent the chocolate from seizing up. Spoon mixture into meringue shell. Chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
