Easy Chocolate Pecan Pie image

This is my own invention--combining chocolate with a pecan pie seemed like such a good idea. I decided to try it, and the result was delicious. In place of instant coffee, try using espresso.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
⅓ cup butter
⅔ cup white sugar
3 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.) In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in sugar, and set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs well. Stir in salt, corn syrup and melted butter mixture. Add coffee powder mixed with 1 teaspoon water, if desired. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Spread chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Pour pecan mixture over the crust.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until set. Cover and let stand at room temperature about 8 hours before serving. Pie will be soft.
