SOUTHERN BELLE CHOCOLATE PRALINE PECAN PIE

Southern Belle Chocolate Praline Pecan Pie image

This is an unusual pecan pie because it uses only brown sugar--no corn syrup. This gives it a wonderful consistentcy, and this is my most requested dessert of all time. I always have to take 2 extras to family gatherings so everyone can take some home. I got the original recipe from my aunt, but I have added the cocoa, more pecans, more eggs, the alcohol and changed other ingredient amounts over the years, so I consider it my creation now.

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 pies

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 9-inch pie shells
3/4 cup butter
6 large eggs
2 (16 ounce) boxes light brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Tia Maria or 2 tablespoons Amaretto
2 cups chopped pecans
18 pecan halves, for decoration

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Melt the butter and set aside.
Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl.
Sift the brown sugar into the eggs (yes, sift) and mix well.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the pecan halves and mix thoroughly.
NOTE: If you don't want to add the 2 Tablespoons of alcohol, then increase the vanilla extract amount to 1 Tablespoon.
Distribute the pie filling evenly between the 3 pie crusts, and decorate the tops of each pie with 6 pecan halves in a pinwheel pattern.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 35 minutes.

Tips:

For a creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the excess pastry around the edges.
To make sure the chocolate ganache is smooth and shiny, stir it constantly as you add the hot cream.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use bittersweet or dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
If you don't have any praline pecans, you can make your own by toasting chopped pecans in a pan with sugar and butter.
To store the chocolate praline pie, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This chocolate praline pie is a decadent and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy chocolate filling, crunchy praline topping, and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this chocolate praline pie a try.
