4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter (14 Tbsp)

30 Amaretto, crushed
(Italian almond macaroons, available at sp foods shops and some supermarkets)
4 eggs, room temp.
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. light corn syrup
1/4 c. heavy cream

Directions
In the top of a double boiler melt 1 ounce of the chocolate with 6 Tbs. of the butter and let the mixture cool. In a 9 x 3inch spring form pan combine 2 Tbs. of the sugar with the Amaretto, 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 Tbs. 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.
