•  2 cups whole milk


•  2 tablespoons butter

CRUST

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Melt the butter, then combine the butter,
   flour, brown sugar and pecans by stirring with a fork.  


2. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, just until the crust begins to
   brown around the edges. Remove from oven and cool completely. 

1. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and
   heavy cream using a hand mixer until smooth. 
   Spread over bottom of the cooled pecan pie crust.

1. Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, flour, and salt
   in a medium saucepan and whisk well.


2. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and milk and whisk
   well, then add to the sugar and cocoa powder mixture in the sauce pan, whisking
   to combine. 


3. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until pudding
   begins to thicken and bubble, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add
   the butter and vanilla, stirring just until the butter is melted and
   combined.  Transfer the chocolate pudding
   to a shallow bowl and cover with a plastic wrap directly on the surface of the
   pudding to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to help
   the filling cool down. 


4. When the filling has mostly cooled down, remove the plastic
   wrap and stir, then spread over the cream cheese layer.  Cover the pie with plastic wrap, then
   refrigerate for 4 hours until set. 

1. Beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla
   using a hand mixer until whipped cream forms and holds it's shape when betters
   are removed.  Spread the whipped cream
   over the top of the chocolate pudding layer and sprinkle with a handful of
   chopped pecans and chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
