Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Butter |
| 2 | Margarine |
| 1 | Egg |
| 3 | Brown sugar |
| 1/4 | Light corn syrup |
| 1 | Vanilla extract |
| 1 1/2 | Pecan halves |
| – | Walnut halves |
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature to bake your delectable pie to perfection.
-
Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, place 4 squares of chocolate and the butter. Microwave on High power until melted, typically taking around 1 to 2 minutes. The mixture should become smooth and creamy, ready to infuse your pie with its irresistible richness.
-
Prepare the Pie Crust: While the chocolate and butter melt, prepare your pie crust. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the bottom of the pie crust with the beaten egg. This step not only adds a beautiful golden hue to your crust but also helps seal in the flavors of the filling.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the chocolate and butter are melted, remove the bowl from the microwave. Blend in the egg, brown sugar, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract, creating a luscious filling that promises to enchant your taste buds.
-
Add Pecans and Chocolate: Stir in the pecan halves and chopped chocolate, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling. This harmonious blend of nuts and chocolate will elevate your pie to new heights of indulgence.
-
Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the decadent mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly to ensure every slice is brimming with flavor. For added protection, consider covering the edges of the crust with foil to prevent any unwanted burning during baking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the pie in the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 55 minutes. To ensure it’s done, you can perform a simple test by inserting a knife 2 inches from the edge—the knife should come out clean, indicating that your pie is perfectly baked and ready to be enjoyed.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. This crucial step not only prevents any risk of burning your mouth but also allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a truly divine dessert experience.
-
Slice and Indulge: After cooling, slice your Chocolate Ecstasy Pecan Pie into generous portions and serve it to eager guests or savor it as a delightful treat all to yourself. Each mouthful promises to deliver a symphony of flavors that will leave you longing for more.
Prepare to embark on a journey of culinary delight with this Chocolate Ecstasy Pecan Pie—a masterpiece of flavor and texture that’s sure to become a beloved favorite among family and friends. Enjoy every moment of its creation and savor every bite of its irresistible decadence!
