Chocolate Pecan Pie - How To Make Chocolate Pecan Pie

In some parts of the United States, pecan pie is a Thanksgiving tradition. This chocolate pecan pie is taken above and beyond the usual pecan pie's corn-syrupy incarnation. A layer of bittersweet chocolate adds richness to the dessert while simultaneously balancing its sweetness. And an abundance of pecans makes for a wonderful satisfying filling.

Pastry for 9-inch one crust pie
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare pie pastry. Position oven rack in middle of oven. Spread the pecan halves and chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
Bake approximately 40 to 60 minutes. Pecan pie is done at the first signs of solidity in the center of the pie (center should not shake). NOTE: A knife inserted in the center will come out clean. Remember that the pie continues to cook after it is removed from the oven (the custard filling will not finish or set up until the pie is completely cooled). Do not over-bake the pie! If pie is browning too fast after 30 minutes, loosely cover with aluminum foil. Remove the pie from oven and let cool on a wire rack before cutting and serving. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Makes 8 servings. |
