Caramel Pecan French Silk Pie
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a food processor, crush the pie crust until fine crumbs form. Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish.
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Slowly pour the cooled butter mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted and smooth. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, whisking until well combined.
-
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
-
Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and let chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
-
Before serving, top with whipped cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with pecans.
-
Enjoy!
