Steps:
- In medium bowl, mix flour, 1 tablespoon orange peel and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
- Heat oven to 375°F. With floured rolling pin, roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate. Cut scraps of rolled pastry with tiny star-shaped cookie cutter. Sprinkle cutouts with sugar; press on pastry edge.
- In medium bowl, beat all filling ingredients except pecans with wire whisk or hand beater until smooth. Stir in pecans. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Cover edge of pastry with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and filling is set, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool 15 minutes. In small saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly; drizzle over top of pie.
- In 1-quart saucepan, mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in orange juice and 2 tablespoons liqueur. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in orange peel. Serve sauce over pie.

Steps:
- Place sheet of foil in bottom and up sides of pie crust. Weight with uncooked beans and bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes; reduce heat to 400 degrees; remove foil and beans and continue baking 3 minutes longer.
- Melt chocolate and butter in top of double boiler over moderate heat until melted. Remove from heat and stir to blend. Set aside to cool.
- Beat eggs in bowl of electric mixer. Add sugar and syrup just to mix. Add vanilla, rum and melted chocolate. Add pecans and mix.
- Pour into partially baked crust and bake 40 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees. Top should feel soft to the touch and middle should shimmy; as filling cools it will firm up. If top begins to brown too much, cover lightly with sheet of foil. After removing from oven, place on rack to cool. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold with whipped cream.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until the center is just set: The pie should be slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven. It will continue to cook as it cools.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will give the pie time to set and the flavors to develop.
