ORANGE CHOCOLATE PIE
I think I took someone's chocolate pie and added orange to it. Eventually I'll add orange to just about any chocolate recipe. Can use an 8 oz. carton of Cool Whip instead of the real whipped cream. For the crust, mix 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs with 4 Tablespoons melted butter and press into a 9-inch pie plate.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE PECAN PIE
Steps:
- CRUST: Place flour & salt in large bowl. Add butter & shortening & rub with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually mix in enough water until dough forms moist clumps. Gather into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14" round. Transfer to 9" glass pie dish. Trim & crimp edges. Freeze 10 minutes. Line w/foil; fill w/dried beans or pie weight. Bake until sides are set, about 12 minutes. Remove foil & beans & bake crust until pale golden, piercing w/toothpick if crust bubbles, about 7 minutes more. Transfer crust to rack. Reduce oven temp to 350. FILLING: Whisk first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Whisk chocolate into filling. Arrange pecans in bottom of pie crust. Spoon filling over. Bake until filling puffs and no longer moves in center when pie is shaken, about 30 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pie will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overcook the chocolate mixture. Overcooking will make the chocolate mixture thick and grainy. Cook it just until it is melted and smooth.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious touch of sweetness and creaminess.
- Store the pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
