Time 4h45m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup pecans (chopped)
6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
3 egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 Tablespoons chopped pecans
grated chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter, then combine the butter, flour, brown sugar and pecans by stirring with a fork. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, just until the crust begins to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream using a hand mixer until smooth. Spread over bottom of the cooled pecan pie crust.
  • Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and milk and whisk well, then add to the sugar and cocoa powder mixture in the sauce pan, whisking to combine.
  • Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until pudding begins to thicken and bubble, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter and vanilla, stirring just until the butter is melted and combined. Transfer the chocolate pudding to a shallow bowl and cover with a plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to help the filling cool down.
  • When the filling has mostly cooled down, remove the plastic wrap and stir, then spread over the cream cheese layer. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 4 hours until set.
  • Beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla using a hand mixer until whipped cream forms and holds it's shape when betters are removed. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the chocolate pudding layer and sprinkle with a handful of chopped pecans and chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
