Adapted from Cooking in the New South. This is a great dessert for people who really love chocolate. It is not as sweet as most pecan pies. Serve with sweetened whipped cream on top. Yum! Ingredients:
1 unbaked pie shell |
4 ounces baking chocolate |
1/2 cup light brown sugar |
4 eggs |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1/3 cup bourbon |
1 tablespoon molasses |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups pecan halves |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Melt chocolate squares in the microwave.
3. Beat melted chocolate with brown sugar until thoroughly mixed.
4. Add eggs, one at a time.
5. Add corn syrup, bourbon, molasses, and salt.
6. Check to see that there are no lumps-this mixture is sticky!
7. Fold in pecan halves with a spatula.
8. Pour into the pie shell and bake for ten minutes at 425. Lower oven temperature to 325 and back for about 30 minutes more, or until a knife comes out clean from the center.
