Description
This Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie combines the comforting sweetness of a classic pecan pie with rich, gooey chocolate, creating a heavenly dessert perfect for holidays, potlucks, or any special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups (150 g) pecans, toasted if desired
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (240 ml) light corn syrup
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges for a decorative touch.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together light corn syrup, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and pecans. Mix until evenly combined.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Cover the edges of the crust with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.
Notes
Toast the pecans for enhanced flavor. Use foil or a pie crust shield to prevent the crust edges from burning. Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
