Bittersweet Chocolate Pecan Pie image

Not your usual pecan pie. A rich layer of bittersweet chocolate balances the sweetness of this pie. Chocked full of pecans for a decadently satisfying filling. Be sure to use a high quality bittersweet chocolate which is 60 - 70 % cacao for this pie. Cook time reflects baking pie dough and cooling. From the November 2007 issue of Gourmet Magazine.

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (1- 3 1/2-4 oz bar)
1 (9 inch) pie crusts (unbaked I like to use My No Roll Pie Crust)
2 cups pecan halves, toasted and cooled (7 oz)
3 large eggs
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F with rack in center of oven.
  • Melt chocolate in a metal bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Spread chocolate in bottom of pie shell (fitted in 9 inch pie plate) with back of spoon and let it set, then cover with pecans.
  • Whisk together eggs, brown sugar vanilla, and salt in a bowl, then whisk in corn syrup and pour over pecans.
  • Bake pie until filling is puffed and crust is golden, 50-60 minutes. (If pie is browning too quickly after 30 minutes, loosely cover with foil).
  • Cool pie on a rack to warm or to room temperature.
  • Serve with whipped cream.
  • Note:** Pie can be baked 1 day ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then cover. Reheat in a 350 degree F oven until warm, about 10 minutes.

This recipe was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious! The crust was perfectly crispy and the filling was rich and chocolatey. I will definitely be making this pie again soon.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate pecan pie, but this recipe was pretty good. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was rich and flavorful. I would definitely make it again if I was in the mood for chocolate pecan pie.

This chocolate pecan pie was a hit at our family gathering! The combination of bittersweet chocolate and pecans was divine. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and decadent. I will definitely be making this pie again!
