Como fazer Caramel Pecan French Silk Pie
- Prepare your favorite 9-inch baked pie crust and set aside.
- In a heavy medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks lightly.
- Gradually whisk about 1/3 of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and begins to bubble (about 1-2 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 3 tablespoons crème de cacao (or additional heavy whipping cream for a non-alcoholic version).
- Place the saucepan in a bowl of ice water, stirring occasionally, until the mixture cools and thickens to a spreadable consistency.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
- Beat the cooled chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Spread 1 cup of your favorite caramel ice cream topping evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecan halves evenly over the caramel.
- Carefully pour the chocolate filling into the pie shell over the caramel and pecans.
- Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 24 hours), to allow the filling to set completely.
- To serve, top each slice with whipped cream and, if desired, chocolate curls.
