Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pecans, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Whole pecans, for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the unbaked pie crust onto a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and light corn syrup until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate filling.
Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and pour the filling into it. If desired, arrange whole pecans on top in a decorative pattern.
Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still fudgy. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help the filling set fully to a fudgy consistency.
Serve slices of the Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
