Tonight is the Fall Festival at school so I won't be cooking, I'll be working booths for screaming giggling children and grabbing a bite where I can. However, just because I'm not cooking doesn't mean you can't! I thought you might like my recipe for Jeff's favorite pie, a chocolate, pecan conglomeration that he could eat in one sitting.
Of Course, every pie begins with a crust, GO BUY ONE! I can not make a pie crust (well, I can, but it is so tough you can't cut it), so if you can, I would like to know how.
1 pie crust
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup (light or dark will work)
5 T melted butter
1/4 cup bourbon, optional
2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 cup pecan pieces
Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, egg yolks and sugar. Add corn syrup, butter and bourbon. Sprinkle 1/2 the chips over the bottom of the crust, then add pie filling, then 1/2 the pecans, the rest of the chips, then the rest of the pecans. (or mix the chips and nuts into the filling and dump it all in at once) Bake for 55 minutes, turn off the oven and let it set for another 15-20 minutes. Let cool at least 2 hours, serve with ice cream.
Fantastic.
