Mocha Pecan Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Crust
1/3 cup butter
1 cup white flour
3 tablespoons ice water
Filling
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (or brewed strong black coffee)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons white flour
3 large eggs
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, toasted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 F.
For the crust, cut the butter into the flour with a pastry knife until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Add about 3 Tbsp water and combine until dough forms a ball.
Roll it out on lightly floured board.
Place crust in 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
To make filling, place all of the filling ingredients, except the pecans, into a blender or food processor and puree until the chocolate chips are completely ground up and everything is smooth.
Pour the filling over the pecans in a bowl, and stir just enough to coat the nuts.
Pour the filling into the pie shell.
Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 F and bake another 30 minutes or until the filling is set but still moist.
Cool completely before cutting.
