Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is recommended.
  • Toast the pecans before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly. The pie will continue to cook as it cools.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to develop.
