Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time55 minutes
Servings - 8 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 homemade or store bought pie crust
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp dark molasses
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • Pecans for top decoration
  • Pie Crust Shield

Instructions

  • Preheat to oven to 350. Spray a 9" pie plate with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place the pie crust in the base of the pie plate and make a decorative border if you wish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 sugars with the molasses, vanilla, salt and eggs.
  • In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the butter and then cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat, or until it begins to brown and turn fragrant.
  • Pour into the sugar mixture and whisk well, then stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Chop the pecans if needed and then stir into the mixture. Pour into the prepared pie plate. Top with decorative circles of whole pecans.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet, in case it bubbles over. Place the pie shield on the pie to protect the pie. Loosely place a piece of foil over top of the pecans (to prevent burning of the pecans on top.)
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil piece and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the middle of the pie has set.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Slice and serve Fudge Pecan Pie.
