Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9” pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for baking the pie evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Pecans and Chocolate: Stir in the pecan halves and semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling mixture.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the pecan and chocolate filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly. Place the pie dish on a baking tray to catch any drips during baking.
- Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. The center should remain slightly soft but not watery, the topping should be opaque, and the pecans will take on a golden brown hue.
- Cool Completely: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely to set the filling before slicing and serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Chocolate pecan pie marries the rich, nutty flavor of classic pecan pie with the bittersweet richness of semi-sweet chocolate chips for an indulgent dessert experience.
- Ensure the pie cools fully before slicing to achieve clean slices and proper filling consistency.
- Use a baking tray under the pie to catch any spills and keep your oven clean.
- For best results, use fresh pecans and high-quality chocolate chips.
