How to Make Chocolate Kahlua Pie With Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the 1 ½ cups of sugar and 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the 1 ½ cups of flour until just combined.
  4. Gradually beat in the 1 cup of corn syrup, then the ½ cup of Kahlua (or substitute) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Beat in the 3 large eggs one at a time, then gently fold in the 1 cup of chopped pecans.
  6. Sprinkle the 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is puffed around the edges and just set in the center. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  10. In a chilled medium bowl, beat the 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  11. Dollop the whipped cream around the edge of the cooled pie.
  12. Garnish with pecan halves, if desired.
