Decadent! Delight your family and guests with this delicious pie. It is well worth the time invested to prepare this dessert. I was happy the photographer and stylist had huge portions, so I wouldn’t have to contend with what was left!! My family was thrilled to savor the rest of it!

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/2 cup margarine, softened

  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 and 1/4 cups flour

Chocolate Filling

Caramel Layer

  • 2 tablespoons margarine

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons pareve whipping cream

Praline Topping

  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans

  • 2 tablespoons margarine, softened

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Make the Crust

1.

In the bowl of a mixer, combine margarine and confectioners’ sugar for the crust. Beat in egg. Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt and mix well. Form into a ball and refrigerate for an hour.

Prepare the Praline Topping

1.

Combine the pecans, margarine, sugars, and salt. Spread in a single layer in a small baking pan. (I do this in a toaster oven.) Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 10 minutes or until toasted and crispy. Set aside.

Make the Fillings

1.

For chocolate filling: Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and margarine in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl; cool slightly. Beat in the sugar and eggs. Add vanilla. Stir in flour and salt just until blended.

2.

For caramel layer: Combine the margarine and sugars in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower heat and continue boiling for two minutes. Stir in pareve whipped topping. Return to a boil. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Pie

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Press pastry evenly to fit an 11-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom on bottom and sides of pan.

2.

Spread chocolate filling into crust. Top with caramel mixture; cut through with a knife to swirl.

3.

Sprinkle with praline topping and remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

In a lot of recipes you can use oil instead of margarine. Where the margarine is melted, it‘s absolutely no problem to use oil. 1 cup margarine equals 3/4 cup oil.
Good luck!

Tis recipe looks amazing but I don’t like to use margarine ,is there a healthier substitute that could still taste good?

I would suggest trying coconut oil, make sure it is ‘refined coconut oil’ so it doesn’t leave a coconut flavor. There are some healthier margarines on the market as well if you’d like to try that.
