1/4 teaspoon salt |

1 1/4 cups sugar |
3/4 cup crushed amaretti cookie |
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa |
1/3 cup milk |
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons instant coffee |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
3. Cut in shortening with pastry cutter or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Add water; mix until dough forms a ball.
5. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface into a 14-inch circle.
6. Line a 9-inch pie pan with dough; crimp edges and set aside.
7. In a large bowl, combine almonds, sugar, crushed cookies, cocoa, milk, butter, eggs, coffee, almond extract, baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
8. Mix well and pour into pie shell.
