NeatMeatDishes

A glorified version of a pecan pie.  Like eating candy.

Ingredients:

2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk

3/4 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 unbaked pie crust, 9"

1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Topping:

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

2 teaspoons bourbon

1 teaspoon sugar

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a bowl with a pouring spout (if you have one), whisk together eggs, corn syrup, both sugars, butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Place pie crust on a baking sheet.  Arrange chocolate and nuts in the bottom of the pie shell.  Pour egg mixture over.  Bake one hour to one hour ten ninutes, or until pie filling is set.  Allow to cool completely.

Make topping:  Beat cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.  Add bourbon and sugar and mix well.  Serves 8.
