    YUM! Made this for dessert last night and it went down a treat with a scoop of real vanilla ice-cream. After reading the comments, I reduced the sugar to 150g, which gave the perfect amount of sweetness.

    Great! Pastry makes it just that bit nicer than only brownies. Definitely best underdone slightly. Also I didn't have quite enough pecans so supplemented with walnuts, still great! My husband loves brownies and pecan pie, best of both together:):):)

    Delish! Made my own shortcrust pastry (used 8oz flour which was sufficient) and used blanched almonds instead of pecans as that's what I had in the cupboard, toasting them first to give them more flavour. Served the pie dusted with icing sugar and with pouring cream for those who wanted it. A real winner!

    Absolutely delicious! I think I will take the advice next time to only put in 150g of sugar - was just a bit too sweet. Such a simple recipe with great results.

    Fantastic! I used homemade pastry, muscovado sugar and 85% Lindt chocolate. Highly recommended.
