Posted by - Categoriezed under: Chocolate CaramelsChocolate I am a chocoholic as I know many of you are. I love chocolate pie but I especially love specialty chocolate pies. If you want to enjoy pies that are as good as what you could buy at a special bakery, try these recipes. Joseph’s Chocolate Pecan Pie is just simply delicious. Chocolate and pecans are two of my favorite things. Combined, they are irresistible! And who can resist hot fudge? Turtle Pie? Did I die and go to Heaven?
JOSEPH’S CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE
3 eggs, slightly beaten1 cup dark corn syrup1 (4-oz)squares of semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled1/3 cup sugar2 tbsp butter, melted1 tsp pure vanilla1 1/2 cups chopped pecans1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the eggs, corn syrup, chocolate, sugar, butter, and vanilla until well blended. Stir in pecans and pour mixture into the pastry shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.
HOT FUDGE PIE
1/2 cup butter3 (1-oz each)squares unsweetened baking chocolate4 eggs3 tbsp white corn syrup1 1/2 cups sugar1/4 tsp salt1 tsp vanilla1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Melt butter in top of a doubler boiler and add the chocolate. Continue to melt mixture until chocolate is melted; stir to combine well. In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs until light. Beat the corn syrup, sugar, salt, and vanilla into the eggs. Add a small amount of the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix well to temper the eggs. Add the remaining chocolate mixture and mix well. Pour the mixture into the pastry shell and bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until the top is crusty and the filling is set but still somewhat soft. Do not over-bake, the filling should be like a custard. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a real treat!

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, stir the pudding mixes into the milk. Stirring constantly, over medium heat, cook until mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from the heat. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, stirring twice. Pour mixture into the crust. Place plastic wrap over the top. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Garnish with whipped cream drizzled with more caramel topping. Refrigerate leftovers.
