Thanks BR. I knew I could count on you!

I picked up a recipe for Chocolate Kahlua Pecan Pie from Dierbergs (local grocery chain) that I can't vouch for but plan on trying. All of the other recipes I've picked up there have been fantastic. The Kahlua caught my eye!

Chocolate Kahlua Pecan Pie
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened
chocolate
3 eggs
2 tablespoons Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
One 9-inch unbaked pie shell

Kahlua Whipped Cream
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Kahlua or other coffee liqueur

In small saucepan, bring corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until melted; cool slightly. In medium bowl, whisk eggs with Kahlua and vanilla. Slowly whisk in chocolate mixture. Stir in pecans. Pour into crust. Bake on bottom rack in 350?F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

For whipped cream: In small chilled bowl, beat together whipping cream, powdered sugar, and Kahlua until soft peaks form. Cut pie into wedges and serve with Kahlua Whipped Cream. Store in refrigerator.

Thanks BR. I knew I could count on you!

Thanks.

I may have to try this too.

The best part is that it's so easy to make.

I've decided to bake BR's pie recipe and make luvthebeach's Kahlua whipped cream topping for those who want something a little less conventional. Should be heavenly. :drool:

Sounds good!

What a great idea! BR's recipe sounds wonderful, and with the topping it'll be awesome! I ended up making the Kahlua Chocolate Pie because I already had the ingredients. It is so easy to make and looks delish...can't wait to dig into it. I'm planning on making BR's pie for company this weekend...can't wait. :clap_1: Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This is the ultimate in gilding the lily, something we called "Kentucky Derby Pie." It is delish. Enough to put one into insulin shock. For those of you that like a little dash in your coffee after the feast, my vote goes to a shot of Tia Maria in a cup of java stong enough to stand up without the cup. This is also a winner splashed around a beach bonfire, if you take a thermos down on the beach. Yummm.

Just finished assembling my cornbread stuffing, which I can never leave alone. This year, added some dried porcini mushrooms that were soaked in cognac and also some crumbled bacon. I made enough for 16 people, which should do nicely for four!

The choc.-pecan pie is in the oven this very minute; watching the Dog Show on TV.

I love it that you know about Derby Pie. If it is served in a restaurant and called "Derby Pie". the family that owns the name has a hissy fit and will file a lawsuit.:roll: So in Louisville, if a restaurant makes their own instead of purchasing "official" Derby Pies, the pie is called "Festival Pie", Chocolate Pecan Pie", "Run for the Roses Pie". etc.

Let's do some Tia Maria and coffee on the beach when you are here at Christmas!!

:drool: We share a huge slice of the Kahlua Pie at Paulette's Restaurant during our Christmas luncheon. Paulette's is a very popular French restaurant on Madison Ave. here in Memphis. Our big boss in Georgia treats us to Christmas lunch there every year. She always insists on splitting a slice of Kahlua pie with two other people. Paulette's and Kahlua pie here I come. Yum yum.

Thought I'd give feedback on the Chocolate Kahlua Pecan Pie; I made it for Thanksgiving and it was a super-hit! Most of the fam didn't even bother with the whipped topping...it was awesome all by itself. It's rich, so all you need is a small piece. I've been asked to bring several for our Christmas get-together!
