There's only one chocolate pecan pie for me, and it's the one that's been a Jones Family favorite for close to 45 years, I'd say.
This past Sunday's designation as National Chocolate Pecan Pie Day was the ideal excuse to bring it out of obscurity, given its heyday as a dessert was long ago supplanted by so many other choices and offerings. And yet: when I make one of these, it never hangs around very long. It's really quite good!
This was a chance to try out a different pie crust, this time from King Arthur Baking. This last photo was when I was noticing how flaky were its layers, which was a pleasant surprise.
"Chocolate Pecan Pie," a Jones Family favorite since at least 1980, if not before. Also known as "Blender Pie," the recipe came from the late Lib Keith, whose hair-cutting business at her house was where our hairs got clipped for quite a few years.
