Chocolate Pecan Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 refrigerated single ready-rolled pie crust
4 oz. German chocolate
1 c. dark corn syrup
3 eggs
1/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 c. pecan halves
sweetened whipped cream
pecan halves for topping

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Roll out pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
Crimp edges decoratively.
Refrigerate until ready to use. Melt chocolate in microwave container at full power (100%) 3 minutes or in double boiler over simmering, not boiling water. Beat corn syrup, eggs, brown sugar, salt, vanilla and melted chocolate in a bowl until blended.
Stir in pecans.
Pour into prepared pie crust.
Bake in preheated 350\u00b0 oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until set in center.
If crust or top is browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes.
Let the pie cool completely.
Garnish with the whipped cream and pecans.
