The Year of Pie
Pie #7 - To Die For Chocolate Chip Pie
What did I think of this pie? In one word? "Delicious". This recipe comes from Texas Sampler: Handmade, Homemade....Recipes You're Bound To Love. Published by the Junior League of Richardson (Texas) in 1995, it was submitted by Connie Baird (Thank you, Connie!). This pie was really good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but you could certainly use a good dollop of whipped cream. I gave out samples to a few friends and they all liked it. In fact one of my male co-workers I gave a sample to, said as he was wiping crumbs from his face, that I could make that again. Try this pie. It was really good.
Ingredients:
1 prepared 10-inch pie crust
2 eggs
1/2 cup margarine, melted and cooled
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used mini chips)
1 cup chopped pecan pieces
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the eggs, margarine (make sure the margarine is cooled when you mix with the eggs, or you'll cook the eggs and you don't want that), sugar, flour and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in your chocolate chips and pecan pieces. Pour into your pie crust and bake for 55 minutes to an hour. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
