Pecan Pie With Chocolate Cinnamon Whipped Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan. While butter is melting, add beaten eggs to a medium sized bowl. Stir in brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, corn syrup and bourbon until combined. Add butter when just melted.
• Mix in the pecans and chocolate morsels. Mix all together. Pour mixture into pie shell.
• Place on a sheet tray and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
• When ready to serve top with a dollop of Whipped Cream.
• Pour heavy cream into a bowl and whip with an electric mixer for a few minutes, until it becomes thick. Add confectioners' sugar and beat until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold in vanilla extract.

Steps:

• Whip cream, liqueur, cinnamon and chili powder together until stiff peaks form. Melt chocolate in a medium bowl in microwave until smooth, check on it every 10 seconds over 45 seconds, cooking on high. Cool to the touch. Stir 1/4 of the whipped cream into the chocolate until totally combined then fold in the rest of the whipped cream in small batches. Cut pie, top with cream and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. FILLING: Whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch, egg yolks, heavy cream and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisking constantly, bring the mixture to boil and cook until it begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool completely. Transfer the filling to a storage container. Press plastic wrap over top (to prevent skin from forming) and chill overnight. 2. CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 9-inch round cake pans with butter, shortening or nonstick spray. Place pecan pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and toast 4-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned, then set aside to cool. Divide the pecans evenly among the cake pans, shaking to distribute evenly over the bottoms. 3. In a large bowl or using an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth, and then beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Alternating with sour cream, stir the dry ingredients into butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. 5. In medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold egg whites into batter, then divide the batter among the prepared pans. 6. Bake 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of each comes out clean. Cool in pans on a rack 10 minutes, then invert the cakes onto the rack. Brush the warm cakes with the dark corn syrup, and then cool completely. 7. To assemble, spread 1/2 of the pecan pie filling on one cake, pecan-side up. Place the second round on top of filling, pecan-side up. Spread the remaining filling over the second cake, and then top with the third round, pecan-side up. Refrigerate the cake at least 4 hours, or overnight, before frosting. 8. FROSTING: Whip the heavy cream, sugar and cinnamon until stiff peaks form (do not over-whip). Frost the cake and then refrigerate until you're ready to serve. You can frost the cake up to 6 hours in advance. Makes 12-15 servings. Cook's Tip For the best presentation, assemble the cake layers and filling a day in advance; this will allow the layers to meld and make the cake easier to slice. You can frost the cake the following day, and then refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
