CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE WITH RUM

Steps:
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt with a fork. Add butter and use a pastry blender (or two forks) to cut the butter into the flour mixture until incorporated and crumbles are no larger than small peas.
- Add buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough becomes moistened and shaggy and starts to come together. Don't add more buttermilk than you need to. Use your hands to knead the dough and form into a ball. Flatten it slightly into a disc, wrap in saran wrap, then chill for at least an hour.
- Once chilled, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a circle 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate, trim off the excess, tuck the edges under, then flute the edges. Put the crust back in the fridge while you make the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, rum, and salt. Whisk in the chocolate mixture until smooth. Fold in the 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans.
- Pour filling into the prepared pie crust, then arrange the pecan halves on top in concentric circles.
- Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes. I recommend tenting a piece of foil over the pie halfway through, then removing it for the last 5 minutes or so to prevent over-browning. Pie may rise up in the middle while baking and will still be slightly jiggly in the center when done - this is okay, it will flatten and set as it cools.
- Place on a wire rack to cool completely. Cover leftovers tightly with foil and store in the refrigerator.
CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE
We've made this beloved Southern dessert even more tempting by adding dark chocolate. The pie filling puffs up during baking but settles as it cools.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes (or melt chocolate in microwave). Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together (do not whisk) eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stirring constantly, gradually add melted chocolate. Pour filling into prepared crust; place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange pecans in one even layer over filling.
- Bake just until set (filling should jiggle slightly when pie plate is tapped), 50 to 60 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 4 hours (or up to overnight) before serving.

CHOCOLATE-PECAN-RUM PIE
Steps:
- Grease a nine-inch pie pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, two teaspoons sugar, the cinnamon and allspice. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually sprinkle in the ice water while lightly kneading the dough by hand until it holds together. Gather into a ball, wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the dough to one-eighth-inch thickness. Line the prepared pan, trimming the extra dough at the top. Spread the pecans and chocolate chips on the bottom.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest and nutmeg. Pour into the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top begins to brown and the center is almost set. Remove, sprinkle with rum and cool. Serve at room temperature with some whipped cream, if desired.

ARIZONA PECAN CHOCOLATE RUM PIE
Steps:
- Mix the salt into the flour and cut in the lard. Measure out 1 tablespoon of the beaten eggs into a small bowl and reserve the remaining eggs. Add the water and vinegar to the bowl and stir. Slowly add the liquid to the flour and lard, just until the mixture holds together to form a dough. Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin and roll the dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie pan and refrigerate it if you plan to finish the pie after several hours, or freeze it if you are completing the recipe at this point. This will prevent shrinkage. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heavy saucepan. Set aside and allow to cool. Stir the corn syrup and sugar into the reserved eggs. Add the chocolate and butter, vanilla, rum and the pecans. Mix well and pour into the pie shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until set. The filling will rise and then fall. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 15-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into a 9 1/2-inch glass pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Fold under overhang so it extends slightly beyond the edge of the pie plate. Crimp edge as desired. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, and vanilla and almond extracts to combine. Add the sugar, mix until incorporated. Add corn syrups, and mix until thoroughly combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in pecans and chocolate.
- Pour filling into prepared pie shell, and bake until filling is set, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack at least 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Thoroughly mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into chunks and add it to the bowl. Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut the butter into successively smaller pieces, scraping the bottom of the bowl and tossing the pieces to coat and separate them with flour as you work, until the largest pieces of butter are the size of peas and the rest bread-crumb size. (Do not let the butter melt or form a paste.) Mix the yogurt with the 1 tablespoon ice water and drizzle it over the flour mixture, tossing with a rubber spatula or a fork, folding and pressing the dough to distribute the moisture. If necessary, drizzle up to 1 more tablespoon water, until the dough is just moist enough to hold together when pressed. Dump the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and compress it into a flat disk, pressing in any loose pieces. Wrap in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for up to 3 days.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it stand until it is pliable enough to roll without severe cracking. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 14-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick, rotating and dusting the surface with flour to keep it from sticking. Brush the excess flour from the rolled-out circle, fold the circle into quarters, and transfer it to the pie pan. Unfold, easing the pastry into the pan without stretching it. Trim the overhang to about 1 inch. Turn the excess dough under and flute or crimp the edge. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before baking. (Reserve a few dough scraps for later patching if necessary.)
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake for 6 to 9 minutes, until fragrant and lightly colored. Set aside.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and let preheat.
- Press a 12-inch square of foil, shiny side down, against the bottom and up the sides of the crust. Tent the edges of the foil over (not touching) the edges of the crust, like an awning, to prevent overbrowning. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork, piercing right through the foil. Fill the foil-lined crust with dried beans or pie weights.
- Bake the crust for 20 minutes. Remove the foil liner and weights. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes more, until the bottom of the crust is golden brown.
- While the crust is baking, make the filling: Combine the chocolate, corn syrup, and butter in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the brown sugar, salt, rum, and vanilla. Add the eggs and stir until the mixture is well blended and hot to the touch. Set the double boiler aside, stirring the filling from time to time.
- When the crust is baked, remove it from the oven. (Leave the oven on.) If necessary, press bits of reserved dough into any holes or cracks in the crust. Pour the pecans into the crust and the hot filling over the nuts.
- Bake until the filling is puffed and cracked at the edges and brown in patches but still jiggles in the center when nudged, 10 to 12 minutes. A knife inserted in the pie will emerge very gooey. If the edges of the crust are browning too fast before the pie is done, cover with a 12-inch square of foil with a 7-inch circle cut out from its center. Cool the pie on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the excess dough around the edges.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
This chocolate pecan rum pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich chocolate filling is complemented perfectly by the crunchy pecans and the hint of rum. The pie is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. Whether you're serving it to guests or enjoying it yourself, this pie is sure to be a hit.
