"I found this recipe on a blog named Annie's Eats and couldn't resist trying it. This is a beautifully decadent version of pecan pie. I used my own pie crust recipe for this and make sure it is pre-baked."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 275°F.
  • For the filling:

  • Melt the butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
  • Remove the bowl from the double boiler but maintain the simmering water.
  • Stir in the sugar and salt with a wooden spoon until the butter is absorbed.
  • Beat in the eggs, corn syrup and vanilla.
  • Return the bowl to the double boiler and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is shiny and hot to the touch, about 130° F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans.
  • Pour the filling into the pie shell.
  • Scatter the chopped chocolate pieces over the filling and press into the filling with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake on the middle rack of the oven about 50-60 minutes, until the pie looks set but slightly soft, like gelatin, when gently pressed with the back of a spoon.
  • Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 4 hours.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm 23 years old and I live in Trinidad. One of the islands in the Caribbean. I love baking and have a major sweet tooth but I am trying to cook more savoury foods and I am enjoying trying new recipes. Recently I have come to love photographing the food I make. Too bad they don't all come out photo worthy, but at least they still taste good! lol <img src=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/SuperBowlSTKR.jpg> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/TeaSuppers-STKR.jpg">
