Chocolate Pecan Pie w/ homemade whipped cream image

I would have to say Chocolate Pecan Pie is in the top 3 of my favorite pies. This recipe is to die for. Many say it is rich and you only need a tiny sliver. I say it is perfect and to have a regular slice with plenty of homemade whipped cream. It is rich, it is indulgent, it is heavenly and if you are lucky enough to get a slice...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 9 inch pie shell
3 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c pecan halves
1 c brown sugar
3/4 c dark corn syrup
1/4 c semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 c milk chocolate chips
3 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp vanilla
HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM
2 c heavy whipping cream
8 Tbsp powdered sugar
3 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  • 2. While oven preheats, melt butter in a small sauce pan on the stove or in the microwave. While butter is melting, add beaten eggs to a medium sized bowl.
  • 3. Stir in brown sugar, flour, vanilla and corn syrup until combined. Add butter when just melted.
  • 4. Mix in pecans and chocolate chips. Stir all together. Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell.
  • 5. Place a sheet tray or a piece of foil on bottom rack below where the pie will sit to bake. Place pie on top rack in the center of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.
  • 6. Shield your pie crust for first 30 minutes or so of baking OR shield your pie crust for at least the second half of baking to avoid crust over browning.
  • 7. Let pie cool AT LEAST an hour before cutting. When ready to eat, serve with a HUGE dollop of homemade whipped cream. ENJOY!
  • 8. ~~HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM~~ Place a metal or glass bowl in the freezer at least 15 minutes prior to making. With a mixer, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla. ***TIP*** Using powder sugar instead of regular sugar will keep your cream from separating.
