Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Pumpkin Pecan Pie Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy pumpkin puree, eggs, white sugar, cornstarch, a splash of vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended, then set this vibrant mixture aside.
Step 4
Next, grab a microwave-safe bowl and toss in the chopped semisweet chocolate.
Step 5
Microwave it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until it’s perfectly melted and silky smooth.
Step 6
Once melted, take one cup of your pumpkin mixture and gently fold it into the chocolate until it’s a harmonious blend.
Step 7
Set this delightful chocolate-pumpkin concoction aside for now.
Step 8
In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, dark corn syrup, an egg, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until it’s all well combined.
Step 9
Then, fold in the chopped pecans, adding a lovely crunch to your pie.
Step 10
Now, place a frozen pie crust on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 11
Pour the luscious chocolate-pumpkin mixture into the crust, followed by the remaining pumpkin mixture, creating a beautiful layered effect.
Step 12
Finally, drizzle the pecan mixture over the top and arrange pecan halves around the edge for a charming touch.
Step 13
Slide your masterpiece into the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the pie is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 14
As the pie bakes, your kitchen will fill with the warm, inviting aromas of fall, making it hard to resist the anticipation of that first slice! Enjoy your delicious creation!.
