CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE

Fudge Chocolate Pecan Pie is the best, decadent dessert to hit your holiday table!

Provided by Karina

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups pecans
6 ounces 70% chocolate (roughly chopped into pieces (or semisweet chocolate))
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder ((I use Hershey's))
3/4 cup golden syrup (maple syrup, rice syrup or light corn syrup)
3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs (whisked)
9 inch pie crust (or pie shell)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350°F (175°C) with rack on lowest position in oven. Prepare pie crust. If using uncooked pie crust, prick the base a few times with a fork to prevent air bubbles before pouring in the filling.
  • When oven is hot, toast pecans on a baking sheet for 10 minutes. Roughly chop half of the toasted pecans. Reserve the other half for decorating the top of the pie.
  • Fill a small pot 1/3 of the way with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat to low and place a heat-proof bowl on the pot. Fill the bowl with the chocolate and stir continuously until the chocolate is melted.
  • Add the butter to the chocolate, stirring well to combine until butter is melted. Mix in the cocoa powder until completely dissolved.
  • Take the bowl off the heat. Whisk in syrup, sugar, flour, bourbon, vanilla and salt.
  • Add the eggs and whisk well to combine. Fold in chopped pecans. Pour into prepared pie shell and top with remaining pecans.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until centre is just set to the touch but still a little jiggly underneath. If your pie is browning too fast, loosely tent with foil.
  • The pie will be puffed up as soon as it comes out of the oven, but it will deflate and flatten as it cools. Let cool on a wire rack for about 4 hours and serve warm, or refrigerate to chill overnight.
