Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 9 chocolate graham crackers (1 sleeve)
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

For the topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
  • Chocolate sauce, for drizzling (optional)

Directions

Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers and pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and process until moistened. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chocolate crumb mixture for topping, then press the rest into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set, about 10 minutes; transfer to a rack and let cool.

Meanwhile, make the filling: Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring. Remove from the heat, then stir in the flour and salt until smooth. Stir in the sugar, corn syrup, coffee liqueur and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake until set and cracked on top (like a brownie), about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly, about 2 hours (the pie should still be slightly warm).

Make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla with a mixer until soft peaks form. Top the pie with the whipped cream, pecans and reserved chocolate crumb mixture. Drizzle with chocolate sauce.

    I followed the recipe exactly, but the chocolate filling was pretty much soup. It didn't look anything like the picture- the filling never set. Was also put off by stirring in raw eggs to the chocolate filling. Tasted ok but presentation wasn't pretty.

    Really good pie! Really easy to fallow instructions. It wasn't overly sweet which was the best part. Will definitely make again!

    Excellent recipe. I doubled recipe and put in 9x13's to feed large crowd. I changed crust a little-used chocolate wafers and pecans, making it even richer!
