Nice Chocolate Pecan Pie

My favorite vacation of the twelvemonth is solely a calendar week away! I've ever loved Thanksgiving because inwards my visit at that topographic point is nada to a greater extent than fulfilling than sharing a big repast alongside your closes identify unit of measurement in addition to friends.

Today I’m talking nigh the dessert component division of the meal. Specifically PIE! Because vacation flavor = pie season.

So I’m going to portion a few tips for perfecting your pie!

1. Make a “shield” for your crust. What I hateful yesteryear this is when you’re baking your pie in addition to you lot let on the edges start to plough brownish shield the crust from the oven alongside aluminum foil. Do this yesteryear folding a foursquare of aluminum foil into quarters in addition to and then cutting out the centre of the foil thence you lot tin identify it on overstep of the pie edges.
2. Bake pies on the lowest oven of the rack. This is because you lot desire the crust to ready good on the bottom but you lot don’t desire the overstep of the pie to burn.
3. Place your pie on a cookie canvass earlier putting it inwards the oven. Pies are really fragile in addition to difficult to transport. If you lot position the pie on a baking canvass first, it’s easier to take the pie from the oven.

For my segment on FOX59 I chose to brand a chocolate pecan pie! Have you lot ever heard of a derby pie? Yeah, it’s the same affair – EXCEPT Kern’s Kitchen, the master creators of the Derby Pie, holds a trademark on the cite thence no i else tin role it.

H5N1 cookie that is thence saturated alongside chocolate in addition to pecans that they oooze out when you lot accept a bite. Now imagine that cookie wrapped inwards a flaky pie crust in addition to topped alongside whip cream.
