  •  2 tablespoons heavy

  •  1 cup sugar

  •  1/3 cup cocoa powder

  •  3 tablespoons
    cornstarch

  •  2 tablespoons
    all-purpose flour

  •  Pinch of salt

  •  3 egg yolks

  •  2 cups whole milk

  •  2 tablespoons butter

  •  1 teaspoon vanilla

    whipping cream

  •  2 tablespoons
    powdered sugar

  •  1/2 teaspoon vanilla

  •  1-2 tablespoons
    chopped pecans

  •  grated chocolate



CRUST




  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Melt the butter, then combine the butter,
    flour, brown sugar and pecans by stirring with a fork.  

  2. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, just until the crust begins to
    brown around the edges. Remove from oven and cool completely. 








  1. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and
    heavy cream using a hand mixer until smooth. 
    Spread over bottom of the cooled pecan pie crust.






  1. Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, flour, and salt
    in a medium saucepan and whisk well.

  2. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and milk and whisk
    well, then add to the sugar and cocoa powder mixture in the sauce pan, whisking
    to combine. 

  3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until pudding
    begins to thicken and bubble, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add
    the butter and vanilla, stirring just until the butter is melted and
    combined.  Transfer the chocolate pudding
    to a shallow bowl and cover with a plastic wrap directly on the surface of the
    pudding to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to help
    the filling cool down. 

  4. When the filling has mostly cooled down, remove the plastic
    wrap and stir, then spread over the cream cheese layer.  Cover the pie with plastic wrap, then
    refrigerate for 4 hours until set. 









  1. Beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla
    using a hand mixer until whipped cream forms and holds it's shape when betters
    are removed.  Spread the whipped cream
    over the top of the chocolate pudding layer and sprinkle with a handful of
    chopped pecans and chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
