Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 0.25 cups Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess edges and crimp as desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth. Spread this chocolate ganache evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to allow the ganache to set while you prepare the filling.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Fold the pecan halves into the filling mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated with the mixture.
Remove the pie crust with the set ganache from the refrigerator. Pour the pecan filling over the ganache, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
For an extra touch of luxury, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the cooled pie before serving.
Slice and enjoy your indulgent Chocolate Ecstasy Pecan Pie with a dollop of whipped cream if desired!
