Pecan pie in its various varieties is a popular American dessert dish, especially in the Southern states, and is a traditional holiday dish, but it is a comparatively recent creation. The earliest known recipe only dates back to 1886, although it is claimed to be older.
The primary ingredients for the filling of this pie is corn syrup, but alternatives such as molasses, sugar and maple syrup can all be used, as can honey, and pecan nuts. Other ingredients may also be added to the base pecan pie. This is an open pie with no top layer of pastry.
In this particular case, the added ingredient is, naturally enough, chocolate. To serve, the dish is often accompanied by whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
