Honey-Glazed Chocolate Pecan Pie: Decadent Dessert Recipe

featured 15915

A few months ago I lost my mind at the IKEA in Dubai. Between buying a cascade of charming but unnecessary things and wandering the store, the pecan pie at the café was the highlight of my day. It was the first time I’d tried pecan pie and it absolutely blew me away. I forgot about it for a while until my mom brought me a bag of pecans from a trip to Australia. Pecans aren’t easy to find in India and when available they’re pricey, so I rarely bake with them. But this bag of toasty, nutty pecans needed to be used, and the result was this pie: dark chocolate, a splash of whiskey, and as many pecans as the tart could hold. It’s amazing. I can’t be certain it’s identical to the one from IKEA, but it gave me that same “wow” feeling.

Using a flaky, buttery homemade pie crust, this has quickly become my new favorite pie. It’s well balanced in sweetness, richly flavored and full of contrasting textures. Let’s get into it.
