Best Bittersweet Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipes
BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE
Here we've taken pecan pie above and beyond its usual corn-syrupy incarnation. A layer of bittersweet chocolate adds richness to the dessert while simultaneously balancing its sweetness. And an abundance of pecans makes for a supremely satisfying filling.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
- Melt chocolate in a metal bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring. Remove from heat.
- Roll out dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under and press against rim of pie plate, then crimp decoratively.
- Spread chocolate in bottom of pie shell 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 to 60 minutes. (If pie is browning too fast after 30 minutes, loosely cover with foil.) Cool pie on a rack to warm or room temperature. Serve with whipped cream.
