chocolate mocha pecan pie

My mom is an amazing baker. Growing up, we always had two desserts for every one savory dish (seriously). For Thanksgiving, she pulls out all the stops, baking enough pies for an army (which we sometimes are). One of my favorites is her Chocolate Mocha Pecan Pie, which is adapted from an old Bon Appetit recipe. This pie is sublime – the hint of orange peel in the crust and espresso powder in the filling bring out the intensity of the chocolate. Really, what could be better? Try this and you will be converted. I promise.

I love the fonts you use. What adorable serif font is it that you use on your recipes, if you don't mind sharing?

The amazing Julie. The goddess of baked goods. I still can't figure out how she made that amazing pizza dough - I need another side by side tutorial. This pie recipe looks INSANE. I'm doing it for sure. Love you Ang. xoxo
