Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out and fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Arrange the pecan halves on top of the chocolate chips in a single layer, filling the pie crust evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture carefully over the pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring the pecans stay evenly distributed.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills, then bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Serve as-is, or top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
