Directions
CRUST
FILLING
TOPPING
CRUST: Mix all ingredients. Form like a dough and put into a springform pan, about ¼" thick around the bottom and sides. Put aside.
FILLING: Mix all ingredients. Put the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 24 hours. After refrigeration: Bake ½ hour at a very low temperature - about 225'F. A too-hot oven will result in "mush."
TOPPING: Fold butter and cocoa into cream. Sweeten with sugar to taste. Top the pie. Serve at room temperature or slightly cooler.
