Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll pie crust and fit into a 9" pie plate. Trim edges of crust and crimp edges. Cover crust with aluminum foil, making sure edges are completely covered and there are no gaps between foil and crust. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 10 minutes, until just set. Carefully remove weights and foil. Bake 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

To a saucepan, add heavy cream and bring to a boil on medium. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes, then mix until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture over pie crust and spread evenly on bottom. Place pie crust in the freezer to set.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk in milk until combined. Whisk in eggs one at a time, adding next egg once previous egg has been incorporated. Mix in vinegar, vanilla, and butter.

Pour filling into pie crust and arrange pecan halves over top. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, until sides are firm and middle is slightly jiggly. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Top slices with whipped cream.

TIP Use the leftover heavy cream to make your own whipped cream.
