This is my mom's chocolate pie recipe. She's been making it since 1976. It's pretty much a deal-breaker at Christmas time ... If she doesn't make it, well, then it's nothing but coal in her stocking. My diabetic uncle brings extra insulin on Christmas day, just so he can indulge. Yes, it's so good, it's worth risking diabetic coma.

Ingredients:
9" pie shell
6 ounces of chocolate chips
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, separated
2 cups whipped cream
Directions:
Heat chocolate until melted and cool for 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup brown sugar, coffee, salt, and vanilla on low speed until smooth. Add egg yolks and melted chocolate and beat on high speed until smooth.
Beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form; beat in 1/3 cup brown sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup whipped cream and fold remaining whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Pour into shell. Mound remaining whipped cream on pie. Garnish with grated chocolate. Cover and freeze for 8 hours. Remove 20 minutes before serving.
