PASTRY SHELL: Put chilled dry ingredients in food processor.

Turn dough out onto saran, top with another piece of saran, and flatten into a disc.
Wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Roll between two pieces of waxed paper to fit a 10-inch pie plate.
Remove top layer of waxed paper and place pastry onto pie Remove paper, flute edge, prick bottom with fork and bake at 450 F 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a rack. FILLING: Soften gelatin in cold water 5 minutes. Heat chips and coffee in double boiler until melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add gelatin, stir until dissolved. Beat egg yolks well. Add yolks, ¼ cup of the sugar, salt and vanilla to chocolate. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining ¼ cup sugar and beat until stiff. Fold into chocolate mixture, pile lightly into shell. Chill until firm, top with Whipped Cream. Freezes well and tastes great
