Print Recipe

A rich and decadent chocolate pecan pie that’s perfect for holidays, potlucks, or cozy nights in. This recipe combines the nutty flavor of pecans with the velvety sweetness of melted chocolate for a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 ½ cups pecans, roughly chopped or whole
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust in the 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
  2. Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the pecans.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. The mixture should be glossy and well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture over the pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
  6. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow, then carefully transfer to the oven.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The crust should be golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.

Notes

[‘Let the pie cool completely before slicing to prevent the filling from oozing out.’, ‘Toast the pecans beforehand to enhance their flavor and add crunch.’, ‘Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.’, ‘Cover crust edges with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield if they brown too quickly.’, ‘The filling should be set but still have a slight jiggle in the center when done.’]
