Orange Chocolate Pecan Pie

This unique combination of flavors is absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

Ready-made pie dough or a pre-made 9 inch pie shell

2 eggs

100g (1/2 cup) brown sugar

50g (1/4 cup) caster sugar

50g (1/4 cup) melted butter

30ml (1 oz) fresh orange juice

30g (1/4 cup) flour

pinch of salt

100g (1/2 cup) chocolate chips

50g (1/4 cup) candied orange peel, chopped

100g (1 cup) Georgia pecans

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375 degrees F)

If using ready made pie dough, roll the dough to a 4-5 mm (1/4 inch) thickness and place it in a pie plate. Chill until needed.

Beat eggs, both kinds of sugar, melted butter, orange juice, flour and salt together.

Choose 16 whole pecan nuts for decoration and set them aside.

Roughly chop the rest and add to the egg mixture.

Sprinkle the chopped candied orange peel and chocolate chips evenly over the unbaked pie crust.

Carefully pour over the egg mixture and decorate the top with whole nuts.

Bake the pie for 10 minutes on 190°C(375 degrees F), then reduce the oven to 175°C (350 degrees F) and bake for another 30-35 minute. The edges should be golden brown and the center should be set.

Cool completely before cutting, preferably overnight.
