Mississippi Mud Pie

== Description ==
There was (note the word was, unfortunately) a Cajun restaurant here. We went there very often and got friendly with the owner/cook. When they decided to go into another business I managed to get his Mississippi Mud Pie recipe. Had eaten it there so many times he probably felt sorry for me not to be able to taste it again. I love it! In the midst of all the "Mud" pies here I still hope you'll want to try it.
== Ingredients ==
=== Crumb crust base ===
* 4 ounces digestive biscuits, crushed
* 2 ounces butter, melted
* 1 ounce sugar
=== Filling ===
* 14 ounces plain dark chocolate
* 8 ounces butter
* 2 tablespoons instant coffee
* 2 tablespoons boiling water
* 1¼ cups cream
* 1½ cups brown sugar
* 6 eggs
== Directions ==
# Preheat the oven to 375°F.
# Lightly grease an 8-inch spring-form.
# Mix together the crushed digestive biscuits, the melted butter and the sugar and spoon into the prepared tin.
# Level the biscuit mixture out evenly, using the back of a metal spoon.
# For the filling, measure the chocolate, butter, instant coffee and water into a large pan and heat gently until the butter and chocolate have melted.
# Remove from the heat, and beat in the cream, sugar and eggs and then pour the mixture on to the biscuit crust.
