I bought some chocolate chunks a few of years ago and saved
them for
something special. Now they are on special. I
put out the open bucket of chocolate on the table. "Is this thirty year
old chocolate" was the reaction. I love it when I buy something and
never use it because it is too good to use up.
Serves 8
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell, chilled
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
1 1/2 cups pecans
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract plus 4 teaspoons water (my substitution for 2 tablespoons whiskey)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread chocolate chips in pie shell; sprinkle pecans on top.
Whisk together eggs, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and water mixture, vanilla and salt. Pour over nuts. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake about 35 minutes more, until pie is set but slightly wobbly in center. Let cool completely before serving.
Other substitutions can be used as well such as 1 teaspoon rum extract or sherry extract or bourbon extract.
