Time 2h15m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Unsalted butter for greasing the pan, plus 2 tablespoons melted
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon allspice
3/4 cup shortening
6 tablespoons ice water, approximately
1 1/2 cups pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon minced lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon rum or more, to taste
Whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Grease a nine-inch pie pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, two teaspoons sugar, the cinnamon and allspice. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually sprinkle in the ice water while lightly kneading the dough by hand until it holds together. Gather into a ball, wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the dough to one-eighth-inch thickness. Line the prepared pan, trimming the extra dough at the top. Spread the pecans and chocolate chips on the bottom.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest and nutmeg. Pour into the pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top begins to brown and the center is almost set. Remove, sprinkle with rum and cool. Serve at room temperature with some whipped cream, if desired.

This pie is very sweet, so it's best to serve it in small slices. It's also a good idea to pair it with a glass of milk or coffee to help cut the sweetness.

I found that the pie crust was a little too dry and crumbly. I would recommend using a different recipe for the crust, or at least adding some more butter to the dough.

This pie is delicious, but it's very rich. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream to help balance out the flavors.

I'm not usually a fan of rum, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it complemented the chocolate and pecans in this pie. It's a delicious and unique dessert that I would highly recommend.
