# Chocolate Rye Pecan Pie - Made In

Introducing the pecan pie to end all pecan pies, featuring a chocolate shortbread-like crust and nuanced, complex interior that’s a far cry from the standard.

This recipe, featured in our [2nd annual Thanksgiving menu](/blogs/thanksgiving-menu-2023), is the pecan pie to end all pecan pies from the self-admitted “recovering pastry chef” Amanda Rockman of Austin's [Rockman Coffee + Bakeshop](https://www.rockmanatx.com/). There is no flaky pie crust here, instead you’ll find a dough that’s much like a chocolate shortbread cookie. 

The filling is nuanced and complex, with hints of rye whiskey and puddles of dark chocolate—a far cry from the standard saccharine pecan pie. To top it all off, smoked (yes, smoked) vanilla whipped cream is piped onto the pie with a gentle dusting of more chocolate. This pie is a project, but totally worth the effort.
