Chocolate Pecan Pie

Chocolate Pecan Pie

Shortcrust pastry (store bought or homemade) for a 30cm pie plate
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
2 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Put your shortcrust pastry into a 30cm pie plate. Beat the eggs with a wire whisk until light and frothy. Whisk in milk and vanilla extract. Add brown and white sugars and flour and mix in. Pour in hot melted butter right from the microwave and incorporate. Add the roughly chopped pecans and stir in.
Scatter dark chocolate chips over the pastry and carefully pour over the pecan filling, spread evenly. Tap the pie plate lightly to eliminate any air bubbles. Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to 175°C and bake for another 40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Let cool completely and serve at room temperature. Serve as is, with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
