Description
A comforting and indulgent dessert featuring a rich chocolate filling and crunchy pecans, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges for a decorative touch.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition to ensure the mixture is light and airy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the pecans and chocolate chips gently.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly to prevent any overflow during baking.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Blind baking the crust slightly before adding the filling can help ensure a flaky texture. Always cool the pie for proper setting.
