Description
Chocolate and pecans combine to make one insanely rich and delicious pie!
Ingredients
Scale
- One 9-inch unbaked pie crust (I used pre-made frozen crust but you can certainly make your own)
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups pecan pieces, chopped and toasted*
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- to toast pecans, bake them at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes, or until they become fragrant.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Bake crust in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- Once crust is cooled, line the bottom of the crust with chocolate chips.
- Place the pecan pieces on top of the chocolate chips.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour mixture over pecans and chocolate chips.
- Place pie on a cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, until the pie is set but slightly soft like gelatin.
- Check after 45 minutes to make sure crust is not getting too brown. If it is, line the crust with a thin strip of aluminum foil. (I did not have to do this but it’s important to check!)
- Let cool completely, at least 4 hours.
