National Chocolate Pecan Pie Day

Chocolate pecan pie is a variation of traditional pecan pie that includes chocolate in the filling. It is a popular dessert in the Southern United States and is often served during the holiday season, especially Thanksgiving. The filling of a chocolate pecan pie typically includes pecans, corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, and semi-sweet or dark chocolate. The chocolate adds a rich and decadent flavor to the pie, complementing the sweetness of the filling and the crunchiness of the pecans. The crust of a chocolate pecan pie is typically made from a traditional pie crust recipe, which can be made from scratch or purchased pre-made. The filling is poured into the crust and baked in the oven until the filling is set. Chocolate pecan pie is often served warm or at room temperature and can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. It is a delicious and indulgent dessert that is sure to satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth.
