Ingredients

Filling

1/3 cup butter
2 unsweetened chocolate
3 eggs
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup pecan halves

Crust

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups shortening
3 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup water
OR pre-made pie crust

Instructions

Crust

Mix together flour and salt. Cut shortening into flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg. Slowly pour in water while mixing until the dough sticks together. Place in fridge for an hour, then roll out into a 12-inch disk. Spread in pie pan. You can also use a premade pie crust to make this easier.

Pie Filling

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted; cool slightly.
With a hand beater, beat eggs, sugar, salt, chocolate mixture, and corn syrup. Stir in pecans and pour mixture into pie shell.
Bake until set, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve with nondairy whipped topping.

Notes

Note: For the crust, I used the same recipe as for my breakfast quiche. I do this because the filling in the pie is already sweet so I don’t want a sweet crust.
