directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, blend the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder and 8 tablespoons of the butter until the mixture resembles coarse bits.
  • Press the mixture into an 8x8x2-inch baking pan and bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 15 minutes. When the crust is done, raise the oven heat to 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan boil the syrup until it reaches the soft- ball stage (240 degrees F. on a candy thermometer, tilting the pan so the thermometer can register). Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until it is melted.
  • In a bowl whisk together the eggs and vanilla, add the syrup mixture in a slow stream, whisking, and whisk the mixture until it is combined well.
  • Stir in the pecans and pour the mixture over the chocolate crust. Bake in 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is puffed slightly and golden.
  • Let the dessert cool in the pan on a rack. When cool, cut into 2-inch squares.
