Chocolate Pecan Pie 3

Preheat the oven to 200ºC., 400ºF. Gas Mark 6. Roll out the pastry to line a loose bottomed flan ring 20cm (8 inches) in diameter. Prick the pastry base lightly with a fork and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. Place the sugar, butter and syrup in a heavy based pan over a moderate heat. When the ingredients have melted remove the pan from the heat. Add the roughly chopped pecans and chocolate. Stir the chocolate until it has melted. Add the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly. Place a disc of greaseproof paper into the lined pastry case and fill with baking beans or rice. Place the flan ring onto a baking sheet and into preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove the baking beans and cook for a further 5 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Reduce the oven temperature to 180ºC, 350ºF. Gas Mark 4. Pour the pecan filling carefully into the baked pastry case. Place the pecan halves on top and return the pie to the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the filling is firm to the touch and slightly domed.

Chocolate Pecan Pie 4

1 cup of light corn syrup
1 cup of firmly packed light brown
3 Eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups of coarsely chopped pecans;
3/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips;
1/4 cup of butter, melted (1/2 stick)
One 9-inch frozen pie shell

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla; stir with a spoon until thoroughly mixed. Add the pecans, chocolate chips, and butter; mix well. Pour into the pie shell and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until firm. NOTE: Don't be concerned if the filling in the center sinks a bit as it cools. By the way, did you know you can save some money and time by buying pecan pieces? (They're ready to go in here as is!) Look for them in the baking section of your supermarket.
