Yield Makes 1 nine-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Easy Chocolate Crust
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
2 tablespoons fresh or dried lavender, for garnish (optional)
1 cup whipped cream, or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, and simmer 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely, about 45 minutes. Let thicken.
  • In the top of a double boiler, combine 2 ounces chocolate and butter over medium-low heat; cook until melted. Set aside to cool.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. On lightly floured surface, roll out chocolate-crust dough to a 13-inch circle, 1/8 inch thick. Place dough in pan, and crimp edges. Chill 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Add chocolate and corn-syrup mixtures to eggs, and combine. Stir in vanilla and pecan halves.
  • Pour filling into crust. Bake 20 minutes. Lower oven to 350 degrees and bake until filling has set, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 2 ounces chocolate; bake 5 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack, 1 1/4 hours. Garnish with lavender, if using, and serve with whipped cream or creme fraiche.
