Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie With Caramel Ice Cream

New toys..which I used to make my little pies.

Tart Shells:

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup confectioners sugar

1 egg yolk

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/4 cups flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder

Cream together butter and sugar. Add vanilla and egg yolk. Mix together flour and cocoa powder. Mix together butter and flour mixtures. Chill for 1 hour. Roll out and line tart pan. Bake weighted at 350 F for about 10mins. Tart shells should be slightly underbaked.

While shells are still warm spread a single layer of chocolate chips in the bottom of each one. Then a single layer of pecans. I don't toast my pecans when i make pecan pies but you can if you would like.

Filling:

8 oz dark brown sugar

2 oz melted butter

1/4 tsp salt

8 oz large eggs

14 oz dark corn syrup

1 tsp vanilla

Mix together sugar, butter, salt, vanilla and corn syrup. Mix in eggs. Bake at 350 F for about 15 - 20 mins.

I served it slighty warm with caramel ice cream, chocolate sauce and caramel sauce.
