Chocolate Silk Pecan Pie

[ssba]
Can’t decide which pie to make for the holidays?  Well this pie combines the best of two of my favorites…Chocolate Silk and Pecan Pie.
It is sure to please everyone!
I found this recipe on the Pillsbury website.  It was in the 1986 Bake-off.  I love trying the Bake-off recipes.  

Recipe:
Adapted from-Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest-Leonard Thompson
Pecan Filling
1 refrigerated pie crust
2 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
3 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Chocolate Filling
1 cup hot milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 12 oz bag chocolate chips
Topping:  
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Chocolate curls or sprinkles, optional

Preheat oven to 350.  Spray 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray.  Place pie crust into pie plate.  Poke bottom with a fork.

In a bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer until well blended.  Add sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt.  Beat for 1 minute.  Stir in pecans.  Pour into crust.  Cover edges of crust with strips of foil to prevent over-browning.  Bake for 40 to 55 minutes or until center is puffed and golden brown.  Remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.  Cool for 1 hour.

While the pie is baking, place the chocolate filling ingredients in a blender.  Blend until smooth.  Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for until slightly thickened but not set (about 1 1/2 hours).  By this point the pecan pie should be cool.

After removing from the refrigerator, stir chocolate filling and pour over pecan filling.  Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.  

Just before serving, beat whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla.  Spoon over each pie slice.  Garnish with chocolate curls or sprinkles.  Enjoy!
