Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (unbaked, 9-inch)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing lightly to fit it snugly. Trim any overhanging edges and crimp the edges if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the chocolate chunks and pecan halves, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center may still jiggle slightly, but it will firm up as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
Slice and serve on its own or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
