Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie.
2 In small bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add granulated sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt; beat 1 minute. Stir in pecans. Pour into crust-lined pie plate. Cover crust edge with 2- to 3-inch-wide strips of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of bake time.
3 Bake 40 to 55 minutes or until center of pie is puffed and golden brown. Cool 1 hour.
4 Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, place chocolate filling ingredients. Cover; blend about 1 minute or until smooth. Refrigerate until mixture is slightly thickened but not set, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
5 Gently stir chocolate filling; pour over cooled pecan filling in crust. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm before serving.
6 Just before serving, in small bowl, beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Spoon or pipe whipped cream over filling. Garnish with chocolate curls. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.

Made this recipe this weekend. Came out perfectly. Not sure issues in previous posts about being soupy. This set just as it should have. No thickening agents are needed. I was worried as I only had skim milk. So I used half 1/2 & 1/2 Half skim milk. You get the milk hot which melts the chips, which will set to proper consistency. Perfect!

No thickening agent required. You are melting chocolate chips that will cool to a hard chocolate if the milk wasnt put in it. I follow the recipe exactly as it is written and have no problem. Melt the chocolate to where it just melts. Dont cook it. Maybe that will help. And it needs to set up in the fridge for a while (overnight works best). This pie is really awesome!

I have been making this pie for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas for family get togethers for the last 10 years and family still says to bring it back. Its really not that hard. I use my blender to mix the chocolate mix and it works great.

I like the idea but I'll be using a different chocolate filling (one that I know sets properly) Maybe I'll cheat and just use cook & serve pudding.

I also found that my chocolate filling did not set. I'm not happy with the turn out. Add a pudding mix which I'm gonna try. Keep your fingers cross.
