Time 2h42m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable oil cooking spray
10 graham crackers or Maria crackers, crumbled
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
1 packed cup golden brown sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
6 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup Mexican crema or whipping cream
1 1/2 (3.1-ounce) disks Mexican chocolate, such as Ibarra, finely minced*

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-inch diameter pie dish with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • In a food processor, add the graham crackers and pulse into crumbs. Add the butter and sugar and pulse until the crumbs are moistened. Press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish. Refrigerate the crust for 10 minutes. (The crust can be made 1 week ahead, covered and frozen).
  • Filling: Combine the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil, over medium heat, stirring often. Boil for 1 minute, then stir in the pecans and cream. Boil until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and the mixture is well blended. Pour the hot filling into the crust. Bake until the filling bubbles all over, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and cool completely before serving, about 2 hours.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE

We added coffee-flavored liqueur and Mexican chocolate for a little south-of-the-border twist on a Southern classic.

Provided by Yvette Marquez

Categories     Dessert

Time 5h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, diced
1 large egg, slightly beaten
Additional flour, for rolling the dough
1 tablet (3.3 oz) Mexican chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup dark corn syrup
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
1 1/2 cups pecans

Steps:

  • For Pie Crust: In food processor, place 1 1/4 cups flour, the sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cover and process until combined. Add the butter; process until it looks like yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-sized bits of butter, about 10 pulses. Add the egg, and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry, add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade, and bring the dough together by hand.
  • Place dough on work surface; form dough into thick disk. Wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • On lightly floured work surface, roll dough into 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Grease 9-inch pie plate. Gently fit dough in bottom and up side of pie plate. Trim overhang to 1 inch; fold overhang under itself. Pinch between thumb and forefinger to make a uniform edge around the rim. Crimp edge; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • For Pie Filling: Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350°F.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate and butter uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Set aside.
  • In medium bowl, stir together corn syrups, 3 eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Gradually add melted chocolate and coffee-flavored liquor to filling mixture.
  • Pour filling into prepared crust; arrange pecans in even layer over filling. Place pie plate on cookie sheet with sides.
  • Bake 50 to 60 minutes, rotating halfway through bake time, just until set (filling should jiggle slightly when pie plate is tapped). Cool completely on cooling rack, at least 4 hours, before serving.

CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE



Chocolate Pecan Pie image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 or 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 deep 9-inch crust, or one 10-inch crust
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 ounces of butter
4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 tablespoons dark rum
8 ounces pecan halves

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your pie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Blind-bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of chocolate chips. This will give your pie a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overbake the pie. The filling should be set, but still slightly wobbly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Mayan chocolate pecan pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, crunchy pecans, and creamy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Mayan chocolate pecan pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
