Have a classic pie you love but want to try something new? Just add chocolate! Well, maybe not all pies. Not sure how great a chocolate apple pie would taste. A chocolate pecan pie, on the other hand, now that’s a flavor combination we can get behind. The addition of cocoa to the classic caramel-y and nutty tart is the perfect compliment to round out the flavor. And since this dish is in no shortage of sugary sweetness, we recommend opting for a bittersweet version to add the perfect amount of piquancy. Learn how to make our version of chocolate pecan pie in this online pastry class with one of our chefs.

Ingredients
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup dark corn syrup
5 eggs (room temperature)
5 oz dark chocolate (melted)
1 1/2 oz butter (melted)
½ tsp vanilla (optional)
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
10-12 oz pecan halves
9” prepared pie crust, unbaked

Directions
1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon (if desired) and then the eggs. Add the dark corn syrup and mix well. Lastly, mix in the melted chocolate, butter and vanilla (if desired).
2. Fill the prepared pie shell with the pecans and pour the filling mixture over the pecans. Bake at 370 until set-about 45-55 minutes.

Chocolate whipped cream is the perfect garnish.

Sprinkles add a nice pop of color.
