As if pecan pie is not good enough all by itself , chocolate just puts it over the top !
I didn't really think I would like this , you know it sounds like it would be too much.
I was wrong.....it's a winner!
Chocolate Pecan Pie
1 1/2 cups pecans, pieces or lightly rough chop if whole .
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell
4 beaten eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spread the pecan pieces and the chocolate chips evenly on the bottom of the pie shell.
Whisk the remaining ingredients together. Pour the filling over the pecans.
Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 1 hour or until the filling sets.
When the pie center reaches 200 degrees the pie is done.
Let cool at least 30 to 60 mins before slicing.
Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or ( my favorite )Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. It's GOOD !
