Instrùctions

Crùst

1.    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Melt the bùtter, then combine the bùtter, floùr, brown sùgar and pecans by stirring with a fork.   

2.    Bake for aboùt 15-20 minùtes, jùst ùntil the crùst begins to brown aroùnd the edges. Remove from oven and cool completely.  

Cream Cheese Filling

1.    In a mediùm bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sùgar, and heavy cream ùsing a hand mixer ùntil smooth.  Spread over bottom of the cooled pecan pie crùst.

Chocolate Layer

1.    Combine the sùgar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, floùr, and salt in a mediùm saùcepan and whisk well. 

2.    In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and milk and whisk well, then add to the sùgar and cocoa powder mixtùre in the saùce pan, whisking to combine.  

3.    Cook over mediùm heat, whisking constantly ùntil pùdding begins to thicken and bùbble, aboùt 7-10 minùtes. Remove from the heat and add the bùtter and vanilla, stirring jùst ùntil the bùtter is melted and combined.  Transfer the chocolate pùdding to a shallow bowl and cover with a plastic wrap directly on the sùrface of the pùdding to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for 30 minùtes to help the filling cool down.  

4.    When the filling has mostly cooled down, remove the plastic wrap and stir, then spread over the cream cheese layer.  Cover the pie with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 4 hoùrs ùntil set.  

Whipped Cream Topping

1.    Beat the heavy cream with the powdered sùgar and vanilla ùsing a hand mixer ùntil whipped cream forms and holds it's shape when betters are removed.  Spread the whipped cream over the top of the chocolate pùdding layer and sprinkle with a handfùl of chopped pecans and chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
