Elle's Kitchen: The Summer of Pie²

Chocolate Pecan Pie

 

It has been 3 years since our last

Summer of Pie!  That was before this

blog even existed.  The next summer

was the Summer of the World when

we circumnavigated the globe, last

year was the Summer of Fun.  With a

full house for the summer, it seemed

like a good time to have some pie.  This

year we will call it:

 

The Summer of Pie²

 

In the last 3 years I have realized that

Pecan Pie is now my favorite pie, replacing

my former favorite Pumpkin Pie.  Since I

have already posted a recipe for Pecan Pie

for National Pie Day, I decided to change

things up a bit and make a Chocolate Pecan

Pie.  I have never made nor eaten this type

before, I hope it's good!

 

Ingredients:

 

3 tabl. butter, melted

3 eggs, beaten

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 tabl. flour

1 teas. vanilla

3/4 cup dark corn syrup

1 1/2 cup pecan halves

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 unbaked 9'' pie shell

 

 

Preheat oven to 350º F.

 

Melt butter and set aside.

 

In a medium sized bowl, add the beaten eggs.

Stir in brown sugar, flour, vanilla and corn

syrup until combined. 

 

Add butter and stir.

 

Add pecans and chocolate chips and combine.

 

Pour mixture into pie shell.

 

Place on sheet tray and bake for

50 to 60 minutes.

 

Check back on Wednesdays for the

next three months and if you have

any favorite pie recipes, send them!
