Melt in your mouth pecan pie . . . is there anything better?
I’m pretty sure I say that about most recipes I love.
But this stuff is sooo good, and when I saw a recipe (from Sweet Lavender Bake Shoppe) that upped the ante a little – I knew I had to try it out.
Salted chocolate Pecan Pie is it’s name, and Thanksgiving was it’s game.
If I had to make it again and I will – I will probably cut the sea salt in half – maybe just not add it on top. It was just a tad too salty in bites, but when you got a little salt, some pecans, and a good whip of chocolate . . . delectable!
- •1 recipe homemade pie dough (or 1, 9″ store-bought pie dough)
- •1 1/4 cups brown sugar, loosely packed
- •5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- •3 medium sized eggs
- •1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- •1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- •1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- •1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- •1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- •1 tablespoon good quality whiskey
- •2 cups pecan pieces
- •1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or pieces
- •1/4 teaspoon more sea salt (for top of pie)
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with foil. If you’re making the pie dough do so now.
- Mix together your brown sugar, melted cooled butter, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and sea salt
- Next stir in your whiskey, pecan pieces, and chocolate chips.
- Pour into your crust and top with extra pecan pieces
- Bake on your cookie sheet for 10 minutes. then turn the temperature down to 350 and bake for 30 more minutes.

December 4, 2014 at 9:53 amI recently started sharing recipes on The Jenny Evolution and thought it would be terrific to have a group on FB where we can share our recipes not just with other bloggers but with people who are searching out recipes. That said, I’m launching a Food Blogger group! If we work together we can make this a great outlet for all of us. If you’d like to join, visit me here https://www.facebook.com/groups/341455112700743/
