   medium speed 2 to 3 minutes, scraping sides of bowl
   occasionally. Stir in melted chocolate and 2 teaspoons
   coffee powder.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating 5 minutes
   after each addition. Pour filling into cooled pastry shell.
    Refrigerate at least 6 hours.
   
   About 1 or 2 hours before serving, combine whipping cream,
   powdered sugar, and 1-1/2 tablespoons coffee powder in a
   large, chilled mixing bowl.  Whip cream until soft peaks
   form (do not overbeat).  Spoon over chilled filling.
   Sprinkle with grated chocolate, if desired. Chill.  Yield:
   one 9-inch pie.

   piecrust stick and chocolate in a medium bowl.  Stir in
