Make a rich and decadent chocolate pecan pie with a perfectly flaky crust. This recipe yields a gooey filling ideal for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (flaky type recommended)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt until the mixture is fully combined and no lumps remain.
  4. Pour half of the chocolate chip and pecan mixture into the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
  5. Pour half of the filling mixture over the pecans and chocolate chips in the crust.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and pecans over the top of the filling. Pour the remaining filling over the top layer.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the gooey filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For a fudgier texture, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you prefer a bourbon flavor, substitute 2 tablespoons of the corn syrup with 2 tablespoons of bourbon.
  • To prevent the crust edges from burning, cover them loosely with aluminum foil halfway through the baking time.
