Fox Hunters Pie
A rich chocolate pecan pie with a smooth custard filling, perfect for special occasions or satisfying dessert cravings, combining crunchy nuts and luscious chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place chocolate chips and chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add sugar, condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla; blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the chips and nuts in the pie shell.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes until set and golden.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you're short on eggs, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes). Ensure the butter is fully melted before mixing to avoid clumping.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is delicious served warm or at room temperature. Consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It also pairs beautifully with Kelsey'S Favorite Banana Bread for a delightful dessert spread at gatherings.
