Chocolate Silk Pecan Pie


Doesn't that look fabulous?!

Prep Time: 25 Min
Total Time: 3 Hr 50 Min
Makes: 10

INGREDIENTS:

Crust
box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box

Pecan Filling
2 eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
½ cup dark corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/8 teaspoon salt, if desired
½ cup chopped pecans

Chocolate Filling
1 cup hot milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
Topping
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate curls, if desired

DIRECTIONS:

             Heat oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.

             In small bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add granulated sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt; beat 1 minute. Stir in pecans. Pour into crust-lined pie plate. Cover crust edge with 2- to 3-inch-wide strips of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of bake time.

             Bake 40 to 55 minutes or until center of pie is puffed and golden brown. Cool 1 hour.

             Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, place chocolate filling ingredients. Cover; blend about 1 minute or until smooth. Refrigerate until mixture is slightly thickened but not set, about 1 hour 30 minutes.

            Gently stir chocolate filling; pour over cooled pecan filling in crust. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm before serving.

            Just before serving, in small bowl, beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe whipped cream over filling. Garnish with chocolate curls. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
