Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate baking bar, broken or chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (¼ stick) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
1½ cups pecan halves
1 9-inch unbaked Classic Pie Crust or unbaked ready-made pie crust

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. In the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. In a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed or with a whisk, beat the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt until blended. Beat in the chocolate mixture. Stir in the pecans and pour into pie shell. Place pie on a baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 55 minutes, or until the filling is set. Cool completely on a rack at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. Ghirardelli is a great choice, but you can use any brand of semisweet or bittersweet chocolate that you like.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pie cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch.

Conclusion:

This Ghirardelli chocolate pecan pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
