I picked up a recipe for Chocolate Kahlua Pecan Pie from Dierbergs (local grocery chain) that I can't vouch for but plan on trying. All of the other recipes I've picked up there have been fantastic. The Kahlua caught my eye!
Chocolate Kahlua Pecan Pie
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened
chocolate
3 eggs
2 tablespoons Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
One 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Kahlua Whipped Cream
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
In small saucepan, bring corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until melted; cool slightly. In medium bowl, whisk eggs with Kahlua and vanilla. Slowly whisk in chocolate mixture. Stir in pecans. Pour into crust. Bake on bottom rack in 350?F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
For whipped cream: In small chilled bowl, beat together whipping cream, powdered sugar, and Kahlua until soft peaks form. Cut pie into wedges and serve with Kahlua Whipped Cream. Store in refrigerator.
