In the top of a double boiler melt 1 ounce of the chocolate with 6 tablespoons of the butter and let the mixture cool.
In a 9 x 3 inch springform pan combine 2 tablespoons of the sugar with the amaretti, stir in the chocolate mixture, and combine the mixture well.
Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and one-third of the way up the side of the pan and chill the crust.
In the top of a double boiler melt together the remaining 3 ounces chocolate and the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and let the mixture cool.
In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together the eggs and the salt, add the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, a little at a time, and beat the mixture until it is thick and pale yellow.
Beat in the corn syrup, the heavy cream, the vanilla, the Amaretto, and the chocolate mixture.

Run a thin knife around the edge of the pan, and serve the pie with the whipped cream.

This recipe looks good except I think using the type of cookies in the crust would get a bit costly but the chocolate- amaretto filling would probably be yummy....I will have to try this and find out;)
