Total Time: 45 Minutes, Servings: 10 Servings
Ingredients :
- PECAN SHORTBREAD CRUST
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
- CREAM CHEESE LAYER
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- PUDDING LAYER
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- grated chocolate
Instructions :
- CRUST
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter, then combine the butter, flour, brown sugar and pecans by stirring with a fork.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, just until the crust begins to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- CREAM CHEESE FILLING
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream using a hand mixer until smooth. Spread over bottom of the cooled pecan pie crust.
- CHOCOLATE LAYER
- Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and milk and whisk well, then add to the sugar and cocoa powder mixture in the sauce pan, whisking to combine.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until pudding begins to thicken and bubble, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter and vanilla, stirring just until the butter is melted and combined. Transfer the chocolate pudding to a shallow bowl and cover with a plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to help the filling cool down.
- When the filling has mostly cooled down, remove the plastic wrap and stir, then spread over the cream cheese layer. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 4 hours until set.
- WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
- Beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla using a hand mixer until whipped cream forms and holds it's shape when betters are removed. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the chocolate pudding layer and sprinkle with a handful of chopped pecans and chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
