How To Make fudgy pecan pie

Step 1

Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes. Remove foil and set shell aside. Reduce heat to 375°.

Step 2

In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate and butter. Remove from the heat; stir in milk and water. Add a small amount of hot chocolate mixture to eggs; return all to the pan. Stir in vanilla and salt. Pour into shell; sprinkle with nuts. Cover edges with foil. Bake for 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3

In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over nut layer; cover and refrigerate.
Step 4

In a bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over pudding layer. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Step 5

The times for prep and baking do not include cooling time. This pie is delicious!..Enjoy!
