Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 120 grams Chopped pecans
- 1 Prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the butter has cooled, whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate small bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Line a 9-inch pie dish with the prepared pie crust. Pour the filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
