Description
A rich and gooey Southern-style pecan pie with a luscious chocolate twist, perfect for holidays and special occasions. This indulgent dessert combines the classic caramelized nuttiness of pecan pie with the deep, velvety flavor of melted chocolate, creating a treat that’s impossible to resist.
Ingredients
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 large eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the pecan halves and chocolate chips evenly in the unbaked pie crust.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the pecans and chocolate in the pie crust.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggles when shaken.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.
Notes
Swap semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of bourbon for a deeper, slightly smoky taste.
Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for a sweet and salty contrast.
Store at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
