Decadent Chocolate Pecan Pie
Ingredients:
- Dough for a single-crust pie (9 in.)
- 1-1/4 cups golden corn syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons velvety butter, softened
- 1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup rich baking cocoa
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- Optional: Whipped cream for garnish
Directions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. On a floured surface, delicately roll out the pie crust to achieve a thin 1/8-inch circle. Gently transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, allowing the edges to extend about 1/2 inch beyond the rim. Create a beautifully fluted edge and then refrigerate the crust while you prepare the delectable filling.
- In a generously sized bowl, whip together the golden corn syrup, eggs, granulated sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a heavenly smoothness. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, and sea salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the corn syrup blend, stirring until a harmonious union is achieved. Introduce the coarsely chopped pecans into the filling, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour this divine concoction into the awaiting pie crust, allowing the chocolatey goodness to envelop the pecans in a symphony of flavors.
- Bake your creation in the preheated oven for approximately 55-60 minutes or until the filling is set, creating an irresistible aroma that permeates your kitchen.
- Once the Chocolate Pecan Pie has achieved its decadent perfection, let it cool gracefully on a wire rack. For those who crave an extra layer of indulgence, feel free to crown each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Allow this Chocolate Pecan Pie to be the pièce de résistance at your dessert table, captivating your senses with the perfect balance of chocolate fudge and the nutty richness of pecans. Each velvety bite is a journey into dessert paradise, making this recipe an instant favorite. Share this delightful treat with loved ones, or savor it slowly, relishing the sweet symphony of flavors and textures that make this dessert truly exceptional.
