directions
- Heat oven to 350°F In small bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup,butter, salt and eggs; beat 1 minute at medium speed.
- Stir in pecans.
- Pour into pie crust.
- Bake 350°F for 40 to 55 minutes or until center of pie is puffed and golden brown.
- (I fold a 3" band of aluminum foil and place loosely around edge of crust, folding over top to keep edges from browning too quickly).
- Cool 1 hour.
- While pecan layer is cooling, combile all chocolate filling ingredients in a food processor or blender.
- Process for about 1 minute or until smooth.
- Refrigerate about 1 1/2 hours until mixture is slightly thickened, but not set.
- You want to be able to pour it.
- Stir gently and pour over cooled pecan layer.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- In small bowl, beat topping ingredients until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon or pipe over filling (it looks especially pretty piped just around outer edge).
- Garnish with chocolate curls.
- Store in refrigerator.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
