How To Make tar heel pie

1
Heat oven to 350F. On a lightly floured surface, roll a disk of dough into a 12-in circle. Fit it into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in pie plate. Trim the dough so that the overhang is even all the way around (about 1/2-in from the edge of the pie plate). Fold the overhang under itself to create a thicker rim of dough and crimp as desired, Refrigerate until ready to fill.

2
Melt the butter. Place the chocolate in a large bowl and pour the warm butter on top; stir until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugars, flour, eggs, vanilla, coffee, and salt and mix to combine. Stir in the pecans
3
Pour the chocolate mixture into the pie crust and bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown,30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with whipped cream , if desired.
