Chocolate Pecan Pie with Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

This recipe uses unsweetened cocoa powder to create a rich and decadent chocolate pecan pie.

Yields: 8 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 50-60 minutes

Ingredients:

* For the crust:

* 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

* 1/4 cup granulated sugar

* 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

* For the filling:

* 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

* 1/4 cup light corn syrup

* 2 large eggs

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 1 cup pecan halves

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together condensed milk, cocoa powder, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Stir in pecans.

3. Assemble the pie: Pour filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly puffed. Let cool completely before serving.

Tips:

* For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.

* If you prefer a thinner filling, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the filling.

* To prevent the crust from getting too soggy, bake the pie for 10 minutes longer if needed.

* For a more decadent pie, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings before serving.

* This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!
