This signature chewy-brownie-like pie is a favorite of my family. The great thing is that it makes its own delicious crust and is so simple to make ~ very little prep time and lots of happy tummies! For all you chocoholics out there, this recipe is a must try ~ you’ll love it; I promise! Read more ! Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter |
3 (1-ounce each) unsweetened chocolate squares |
3 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 tsp. vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted and divided ' you can use fewer nuts if you absolutely want to. |
toppings: nutty-buddy ice cream and chocolate syrup; use vanilla ice cream if you can’t find nutty-buddy. for extra decadence, serve with coffee almond fudge ice cream |
note: i measure out all of my ingredients before i begin. then, while my butter and chocolate are melting, i beat my eggs. those quick steps really cut down on prep time. |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often with wooden spoon until smooth.
3. Beat eggs at medium speed for five minutes.
4. Gradually add sugar to eggs, beating until well blended.
5. Slowly add chocolate mixture and vanilla to eggs and sugar, then, gradually add flour. Stir in half of the pecans.
6. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9-inch glass pie plate. (I use Baker’s Secret).
7. Bake for 23-30 minutes or until center is slightly firm. Keep in mind that gas ovens cook these pies much faster than electric ones. DO NOT OVERCOOK. When the outer edge is “brownie-like” and the center has a slight firmness to it, it’s done. You can’t use the toothpick in the middle test on this recipe because the middle is really GOOEY!
8. Cool on baking rack until pie is firm enough to handle. Top each serving with ice-cream drizzled with chocolate syrup; sprinkle with remaining pecans. DO NOT MICROWAVE ~ it MELTS the pie!
9. Sit back, put your feet up, turn off the phone, dare anybody to knock on the door, and ENJOY! Mmm-mmm-MMM-mmm-MMM!
