marvelous things: chocolate pecan pie (happy thanksgiving!)

happy thanksgiving friends!

what a JOY it has been to share my life

and cooking adventures with you over this past year.

i have so many things to be thankful for.

a top ten list just wouldn't do! :)

as you are all basting your turkeys,

preparing your sides, and spending time with your loved ones,

i thought i would share a little twist on the classic pecan pie.

ingredients

4oz semisweet high quality chocolate chips

4 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/2 cups light corn syrup

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pecans

directions

1. preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in the lowest position.

2. in a microwave melt chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth

(about 2 to 3 minutes)

3. in a medium bowl, stir together (do not whisk) eggs,

corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. stirring constantly, add melted chocolate.

pour filling into prepared crust. place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet.

arrange pecans in an even (and pretty) layer over the filling.

4. bake until just set (filling should jiggle slightly when pie plate is tapped)

about 50-60 minutes, rotating halfway through.

5. let cool completely on a wire rack,

at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.

review

this pie was beautiful and super easy.

if anything it was TOO decadent.

but maybe a chocolate lovers dream? :)
