Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter (melted)
1 cup pecans (finely chopped)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, room temperature for easier mixing
1 cup confectioners' powdered sugar
1 cup Cool Whip
1 (3.4 oz) package vanilla instant pudding
1 (3.4 oz) package chocolate instant pudding
3 cups whole milk
remainder of Cool Whip
Optional: grated chocolate sprinkled over the top

Steps:

  • Crust layer: Mix flour, butter and pecans and press into the bottom of a 9 X 13-inch dish or pan. Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • For the bottom layer over crust, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1 cup Cool Whip. This is easiest to mix with an electric mixer. Spread over crust. Chill each layer for about 20 minutes in the freezer before adding the next to give everything a chance to firm up.
  • For the second layer, mix together puddings and milk. Mix according to package directions. Spread over cream cheese layer. You can chill for another 20 minutes in the freezer to make spreading the Cool Whip easier.
  • Top with remaining Cool Whip and sprinkle with grated chocolate, if desired. Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE WITH CHOCOLATE CRUST



Chocolate Pecan Pie with Chocolate Crust image

Make a pecan pie more decadent with a chocolate crust and melty, gooey chocolate added to the filling.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your dessert. Look for high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from seizing. This will result in a smooth, glossy finish and a more delicious flavor.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan is ideal for this recipe because it allows you to easily remove the cake from the pan without breaking it.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This Chocolate Delight with Pecan Crust is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich chocolate filling is perfectly complemented by the nutty pecan crust. With its easy-to-follow instructions and helpful tips, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this Chocolate Delight with Pecan Crust a try. You won't be disappointed!
