It is impossible to say the exact time for every oven, altitude, etc. The pie will puff up, maybe even start to crack - and, it will settle as it cools. If the pie looks unbaked, leave it longer until it seems like it'll set up - firmer around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center. If you are a new baker, trust your instincts. The trick with baking is to build on your experience. At home, one can sit in the oven from Thanksgiving until Chanukah. At work, with industrial convection ovens, I can blast 20 pies in a short time. The bake time can vary as ovens are really different. One broke and I ate it - wow, that is good! Sweet - but good. I take that back, I had to make 150 small tarts the other day - all chocolate pecan.
DARK CHOCOLATE CRACK PIE HOW TO
Remember why I started this website - to teach folks how to do their own baking so I could close the bakery! Leah: Okay, I just got chewed out for a 'soupy' mess - please first know that I would never mislead anyone into making an unsuccessful dessert. No, no, no.chocolate is chocolate!!! Anyway, I made these with chocolate. What about the chocolate? What chocolate.I use dark corn syrup. She names the ingredients but not chocolate. I ask my chef of many years what goes into the chocolate pecan pie. Needing to whip one of these up a couple years back, I can't find MY recipe. The only one I can think of made me have one of my 'artistic' temper tantrums.not, too flattering, not too over-the-top. I feel compelled to tell a story about pecan pie. I don't think that is necessary and causes the pie to brown too quickly. I tried a different technique last night pre-baking the crust. I'm not a fan of pecan pie but repeated orders tell me this must taste good.

For this recipe, you can use store-bought pie crust or homemade pie crust.The corn syrup isn’t overly sweet but I really love the dark chocolate because it balances the sweetness in the pie and gives a really complementary bitterness. This is crucial when cooking all of these ingredients together. It’s an essential ingredient in classic pecan pie because it prevents the crystallization of sugar. They’re meant for each other!įor this post, I teamed up with Karo® Corn Syrup which is my go-to ingredient for the silkiest smoothest pecan pie. Of course I love all pie but chocolate and pecans are a match-made in heaven.

But, if I had to answer, I’d wince and say this Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie. The hardest question I’ve been asked lately has been, “What’s your favorite pie to make at Thanksgiving?!” THIS IS HARD FOR ME TO ANSWER.
