  • Serves: 10
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust , (from 14.1-ounce package)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Allspice, Ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 9-inch deep dish pie plate with pie crust. Bake 7 minutes. Remove crust from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
Meanwhile, microwave chocolate chips and milk in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Pour chocolate evenly over crust.
Beat eggs in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Slowly pour mixture over chocolate layer. Place ring of foil around edges of crust to prevent over-browning.
Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until filling is puffed and center is still soft enough to move when shaken gently. Cool on completely wire rack.
