Ingredients

  • 1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, if desired
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup hot milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup whipping (heavy) cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • Chocolate curls, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust filled pie using 9-inch pie plate. Heat oven to 350°. Beat granulated sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt and eggs in small bowl with electric mixer on medium speed 1 minute. Stir in pecans. Pour into pie crust in pie plate. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until center of pie is puffed and golden brown. Cool 1 hour.
  • 2
    While filled crust is cooling, place hot milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and the chocolate chips in blender or food processor; cover and blend on medium speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Refrigerate about 1 hour 30 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened but not set. Gently stir; pour over cooled filling in pie crust. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
  • 3
    Beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla in chilled small bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe over filling. Garnish with chocolate curls. Store in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For quick chocolate curls, pull a vegetable peeler along a chunky bar of milk chocolate. Milk chocolate is softer than semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate. Lift the curls onto the dessert with a toothpick.
  • tip 2
    Make this pie early in the day so it has time to set up, plus you'll eliminate last-minute preparation. The chocolate curls can also be made ahead and refrigerated in a single layer in a small container.
  • tip 3
    Dark corn syrup has a caramel flavor and color, which gives it a darker color and stronger flavor. It works well with the chocolate in this pie.
