It's been awhile since I've been able to bake along with everyone at Sweet Melissa Sundays. But no matter how busy or chaotic life is, I will never ever be able to pass up the chance to make a pecan pie. There's just something about all that sugary, gooey yummy filling that makes Thanksgiving for me. So many thanks to Jennifer of Oh Sweet Day who picked this pie and will have the recipe on the website today.
Apart from some issues with the pie crust, it was a snap to make. And the pie crust was strictly my own personal issues with it despite it being store bought...which is why you don't really see a crust in the picture. I'd burnt the edges of the crust and ended up cutting a square from the middle so my offering wouldn't look completely mangled in the picture.
Oddly enough, the dessert wasn't as sweet as I've been accustomed to with store bought pecan pies. I liked that the recipe allowed the pecans to really shine through and the aftertaste of chocolate that followed after each bite of the pecan filling. Definitely would make this again.
Please check out everyone's offering over at Sweet Melissa Sundays to see how they fared with this delicious pie!
I had crust issues, as well... but I think mine was in the fridge too long. Oh well. You're right - the filling was amazing and I'd definitely make it again! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks unbelievable. So good and yummy.....
ReplyDeleteI liked the not-so-sweet filling. Sorry the crust didn't turn out, though from your picture, it doesn't seem to need the crust, as it looks delectable!
ReplyDeleteI made a slight variation on the SMS recipe, but am really looking forward to trying the one in the book soon. It's getting great reviews, which makes me even more eager :) Your pie looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteLooks great regardless of the crust issues! =) I sat this one out as I am not a fan of pecan pie.
ReplyDeleteOh crust issues, I hear you. I have issues with crust, even with store bought. You would never know it from your picture, looks beautiful and delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks spectacular, so nice and chocolatey! I also loved how simple it was to make.
ReplyDeleteOh these sound really good - perfect combination of flavours.
