"I've baked lots of pies but this one is my absolute favorite!" says home cook Doris Roberts. "It's a chocolate pie with pecans added - it is not a pecan pie with chocolate added. It's incredibly rich and needs the whipped cream to tone down the sweetness. This pie will get you rave reviews every time, yet is amazingly simple to make!"
