Chocolate pecan pie goes well with ice cream, just like the original. Crisp pecans are a refreshing southern treat. Pecan pies fall into the sugar pie category, giving them a gooey, almost caramel center. The pie's sweet batter is made with different sugars depending on the dish. Both brown and white sugars can be used, but molasses can also be used. Corn syrup is a common ingredient as well. Also honey is used.

There is one ingredient that appears from time to time that should not surprise any cooks. Any recipes call for a little bit of bourbon, rum, or whiskey. Since these spirits hail from the southern parts of North America, seasoning them is a natural process.

Although pecan pies use eggs as a binder, it's also interesting to note another sugar pie made when eggs were out of season. The pie is referred to as a sugar cream pie in the United States. We can't imagine there being a season for eggs, birds lay more eggs in spring and summer than they do in the fall and winter. Chickens are relying on the sun to know when to lay eggs. They lay fewer eggs as the days are shorter. They may not lay any eggs at all in the winter.

So, when the hens stopped laying, a sugar cream pie was a viable alternative, since no eggs are required to make it. Both chocolate pecan pie and sugar cream are delectable.
