I first served this treat to my family on St. Patrick's Day, and it was an instant success. Now I serve it year-round; in the winter, I leave out the green food coloring to make a cool white mint pie. —Karen Hayes,Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania.

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
