Chocolate Pecan Pie: you have to try this dessert

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 °F/170C fan/gas mark Put your oven rack one shelf down from the middle.

Step 2

Roll your pastry, and place your pie crust into the pie plate. Crimp the edges then put into the fridge to chill while you are making the filling. If you are using a ready-cooked shell, place into pie dish.

Step 3

Using a large bowl, whisk together your eggs, brown sugar, golden syrup, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted butter.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips, then pour into the pie shell.

Step 5

Bake for about 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and carefully place the whole pecans on top to decorate. Doing this now means there is more chance the pecans will stay on top instead of sinking.

Step 6

Put the pie back in the oven for another 20 minutes. You want the center to still be slightly wobbly, but the rest of the pie to be puffed up and obviously cooked through.

Step 7

If you feel like the pie is starting to brown too much while cooking, cover it with foil.

Step 8

Remove the pie and cool in the dish. This pie has to set for a few hours before serving.
