This is a variation of a classic pecan pie recipe with the addition of chocolate. It's a bit hedonistic. It is very easy to assemble, but it takes 45 to 50 minutes to bake. Ingredients:
4 ounces semisweet chocolate |
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust made frombasic pie pastry |
3 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted and allowed to cool |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups broken walnuts |
whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a heavy pot on low heat. Pour it evenly into the unbaked pie shell.
3. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, and vanilla well. Stir in the walnuts. Pour the mixture into the chocolate-lined pie shell and bake until the filling is set, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool.
4. The pie may be made ahead several days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
