Description

Chocolate Pecan Pie is a rich, decadent twist on the classic Southern dessert. Featuring a gooey chocolate filling with crunchy pecans in a buttery pie crust, this easy pie is perfect for holidays or any time you crave something indulgent and satisfying.


Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips and pecan halves until evenly combined.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
  7. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours, before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use bittersweet chocolate for a more intense chocolate flavor.Add a splash of bourbon or espresso to deepen the flavor.Use chopped pecans instead of halves for easier slicing.Wrap and freeze leftovers for up to 2 months.Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
