Bittersweet Chocolate Pecan Pie image

Not your usual pecan pie. A rich layer of bittersweet chocolate balances the sweetness of this pie. Chocked full of pecans for a decadently satisfying filling. Be sure to use a high quality bittersweet chocolate which is 60 - 70 % cacao for this pie. Cook time reflects baking pie dough and cooling. From the November 2007 issue of Gourmet Magazine.

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (1- 3 1/2-4 oz bar)
1 (9 inch) pie crusts (unbaked I like to use My No Roll Pie Crust)
2 cups pecan halves, toasted and cooled (7 oz)
3 large eggs
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F with rack in center of oven.
  • Melt chocolate in a metal bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Spread chocolate in bottom of pie shell (fitted in 9 inch pie plate) with back of spoon and let it set, then cover with pecans.
  • Whisk together eggs, brown sugar vanilla, and salt in a bowl, then whisk in corn syrup and pour over pecans.
  • Bake pie until filling is puffed and crust is golden, 50-60 minutes. (If pie is browning too quickly after 30 minutes, loosely cover with foil).
  • Cool pie on a rack to warm or to room temperature.
  • Serve with whipped cream.
  • Note:** Pie can be baked 1 day ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then cover. Reheat in a 350 degree F oven until warm, about 10 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out at all. The crust was a complete mess and the filling was just a gooey mess.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I expected. The crust was a little too dry and the filling was a little too runny.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, it was a very good pie.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a hit. The chocolate and pecan filling is irresistible, and the crust is always perfect. I love that I can use my food processor to make the crust, which saves me a lot of time.
