Pecan Pie Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Make the Filling

   In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the milk chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. 2

   Prepare the Pecan Mixture

   In a bowl, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the pecans.

3. 3

   Prepare the Pie Crust

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the edges.

4. 4

   Bake the Pie

   Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The center may still be slightly jiggly.

5. 5

   Make the Dark Chocolate Sauce

   Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Once melted, drizzle over the cooled pecan pie before serving.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Once the pie has cooled, top with caramelized pecans and drizzle with dark chocolate sauce. Slice and serve.
