Ingredients
Pecan Pie Filling:
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup light karo syrup (or dark Karo)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Butter Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 2 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup cold water (or buttermilk or milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar (if not using buttermilk)
Homemade Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
- chocolate shavings
Instructions
Pie Crust:
- Stir together flour and salt. Slice cold butter into tiny shreds and add to bowl or food processor. Pulse until coarse meal or small peas form.
- Slowly add ice cold water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time to butter-flour mixture. Add vinegar and pulse until it starts to form together.Press dough into a ball. Pat each ball into a disk. If you have extra time, tightly wrap in Saran Wrap and let it chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Unwrap the dough, turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and roll it out, using a rolling pin. Don't overwork the dough. Roll it to at least a 13-inch diameter circle. Fold the dough in half and gently lift and position it over the pie pan. Unfold.
- Press the dough against the sides and bottom of a pan. Flute the edges by pressing the dough between the index finger and thumb of one hand and using the index finger of the other hand to make the scallop. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Pecan Pie Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and light Karo syrup. Cook for 5 minutes or until silky smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and chill for 15 minutes or until it cools to room temperature. Add vanilla and eggs and whisk well to combine. Stir in pecan halves.
- Pour into prepared pie shell. Sprinkle chocolate chips all over the filling. Carefully press down some of the chocolate chips. Put on baking sheet. Bake for 45 - 55 minutes or until filling is cooked and pie crust is lightly golden brown. **Check halfway through cooking time and add pie shield or foil to cover pie crust to prevent too much browning.
- Let it come to room temperature to set-up. Serve with fresh whipped cream.
Homemade Whipped Cream:
- In a cold mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and whip until medium peaks form. Top each slice of pie with a dollop of whipped cream.
