Chocolate Pecan Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1/3 c. butter
3 eggs
2/3 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. dark corn syrup
1/8 c. rum (optional)
1 c. pecan halves
1 (9-inch) pie shell
whipped cream to garnish

Preparation

Melt
the
chocolate with butter in the top of a double boiler over medium heat.
Remove from water and cool slightly. Combine the eggs, sugar, salt, corn syrup and rum in a mixing bowl
and beat
to
blend.
Beat
in the cooled chocolate and butter.
Place pecans
in the bottom of the pie shell and add the egg mixture. Bake in a preheated oven (350\u00b0) for 40 to 50 minutes.
The
top should be soft and the center not quite set when
the pie is shaken.
Serve with whipped cream that barely holds a soft peak. Serves 6 or 8.
