1 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° F.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the evaporated milk, chocolate, and butter on low for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and combined, about 2-3 minutes total. (You could also use a double boiler or heavy saucepan on the stove to melt the ingredients, stirring constantly.)
Whisk sugar and flour into chocolate mixture, stirring to combine.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition.
Whisk in vanilla and salt.
Stir in pecans.
Pour mixture into pie shell.
Bake at 375°F for 34 to 36 minutes or until set. After 25 to 30 minutes, cover the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning the crust.
Cool 10 minutes. Drizzle the desired amount of caramel sauce over the pie and serve.

Can this pie be served room temperature or cold? Also, does it need to be kept refrigerated? Thank you.

Dee, I would say you can serve it room temperature or cold. My guess is room temperature is actually a really good temp for this, and cold may be thicker — like a semi-hard fudge interior. I’m not sure about whether or not it would need to be refrigerated, though, if there were pieces left.

Can this pie be made ahead of time and frozen?
