    Chocolate Pecan Pie

    Chocolate Pecan Pie

    Prep and cook time: 1 to 2 hours

    Serves: 6-8

    Ingredients
    ½ x 375g pack fresh dessert shortcrust pastry
    175g brown sugar
    50g unsalted butter, diced
    175g golden syrup
    100g pecans, roughly chopped
    50g dark chocolate
    3 medium size eggs, beaten
    50g pecan halves

    Method
    Preheat the oven to 200°C, 400°F, Gas Mark 6.

    Roll out the pastry to line a loose bottomed flan ring 20cm 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 180°C, 350°F, 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 mintues until the filling is firm to the touch and slightly domed.

    Me and the GF love pecan pie so I am definitely going to give this a go at some point I'll let you know how it goes.

    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    Now that is a pudding!
    I think I'll have to make that after exams... got some yank friends coming over in June for a BBQ, so I think that with some nice thick vanilla icecream would be perfect!
