Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 c flour
1 c sugar
1/4 c cocoa - we use hershey's dark cocoa
1/2 tsp slat
2 c milk (we use 1/2 milk and 1/2 half and half
2 Tbsp butter
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 baked pie crust

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa and salt together. Add egg yolks, milk, butter and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick. A wire whisk works well to stair with. May have a tendency to lump when it begins to thicken; continue stirring clockwise and counter-clockwise. Lumps will disappear. Pour into baked pie crust.
  • 2. Supreme Meringue: 4 - 5 egg whites, 8 T. sugar, 1 1/2 T. cornstarch. Beat egg whites until stuff but not dry. Mix sugar and cornstarch and slowly add to egg whites. Continue beating until very stiff peaks form; put on pie; seal to crust edges. Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 10 minutes, but watch closely, until light brown.
  • 3. A whipped cream topping is also excellent on this pie. It is whatever your preference is. This is also excellent as chocolate pudding and no crust.

I would have to say Chocolate Pecan Pie is in the top 3 of my favorite pies. This recipe is to die for. Many say it is rich and you only need a tiny sliver. I say it is perfect and to have a regular slice with plenty of homemade whipped cream. It is rich, it is indulgent, it is heavenly and if you are lucky enough to get a slice...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 9 inch pie shell
3 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c pecan halves
1 c brown sugar
3/4 c dark corn syrup
1/4 c semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 c milk chocolate chips
3 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla
HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM
2 c heavy whipping cream
8 Tbsp powdered sugar
3 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  • 2. While oven preheats, melt butter in a small sauce pan on the stove or in the microwave. While butter is melting, add beaten eggs to a medium sized bowl.
  • 3. Stir in brown sugar, flour, vanilla and corn syrup until combined. Add butter when just melted.
  • 4. Mix in pecans and chocolate chips. Stir all together. Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell.
  • 5. Place a sheet tray or a piece of foil on bottom rack below where the pie will sit to bake. Place pie on top rack in the center of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.
  • 6. Shield your pie crust for first 30 minutes or so of baking OR shield your pie crust for at least the second half of baking to avoid crust over browning.
  • 7. Let pie cool AT LEAST an hour before cutting. When ready to eat, serve with a HUGE dollop of homemade whipped cream. ENJOY!
  • 8. ~~HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM~~ Place a metal or glass bowl in the freezer at least 15 minutes prior to making. With a mixer, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla. ***TIP*** Using powder sugar instead of regular sugar will keep your cream from separating.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that has at least 70% cacao content.
  • Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is just set. The pie will continue to cook as it cools.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This homemade chocolate pie is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and creamy filling, it's the perfect treat for any occasion. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
