What would Thanksgiving be without lots of yummy desserts? I decided to make a special "top-secret" dessert this year for our Thanksgiving dinner #2. Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, although I was a little bummed when it didn't come out completely cooked. (I guess it helps when no one knows how it's supposed to really turn out). I decided to make a Chocolate Pecan pie to accompany Sarah's delicious Cranberry Biscotti and Liz's awesome Banana Bread! The recipe is actually really easy and doesn't take much time, but it seems so fancy that you can pretend you spent all day baking! Here's the recipe:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
First, take a frozen pie crust (don't pre-bake it). Chop up 1 cup of Pecans (or Walnuts), and spread them in the bottom of the uncooked pie crust. Then sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the nuts.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs. To that, add 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour. Then whisk in 1 stick of melted butter and 1 tsp. of vanilla.
After it's all mixed, pour the sugar and butter mixture over the nuts and chocolate chips. Then, just pop it in the oven for 35-40 minutes. That's it! Let it cool for a bit so it's easier to slice. Finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream or some of your favorite ice cream. It's really good the next day cold too! (If there is any leftover).
