Directions
In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Add cold butter and shortening, then using a long pronged fork, cut into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle ice water into mixture one tablespoon at a time, while tossing with a rubber spatula and adding water just until mixture starts to come together . Drop mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap then press and shape into about a 4 to 5-inch round disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes. Dust a work surface with flour then unwrap chilled dough and place on floured surface. Dust top with flour and roll out into an even 12-inch round . Carefully fold dough in half then fold in half once more, carefully transfer dough to pie a 9-inch pie plate and place tip of the triangle in center of pie plate and unfold dough to fit plate. Trim uneven edges and tuck overhang underneath and flute as desired. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and transfer crust to freezer and chill 20 minutes. Cover chilled crust with two sheets of foil and wrap around edges of crust. Fill pie with weights or about 2 lbs of dry beans. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, then remove from oven and carefully remove weights and foil. Return to oven and bake 5 minutes longer. Cool completely to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips and the butter to a microwave safe bowl. Heat on HIGH power in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval, until melted and smooth. Stir in canola oil and cocoa powder, mixing until well blended. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Add chocolate mixture to sugar mixture and stir until combined. Stir in flour then stir in remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Spread pecans over bottom of pie crust into an even layer, the pour and spread filling evenly over pecans. Bake in preheated until toothpick inserted into center only comes out with a small amount of batter, about 40 minutes. Cool at room temperature about 1 1/2 hours until just warm, then slice and serve with sweetened whipped cream, ice cream or optional salted caramel sauce.
