Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the pecan layer.

Step 10

In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Step 11

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chocolate layer, smoothing out the top.
