Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Halved pecans (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a store-bought pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If making a homemade crust, roll it out and line the pie dish, trimming any excess dough.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and whisk again until smooth.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, then stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped pecans, then pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Arrange the halved pecans on top of the filling in a decorative pattern for garnish.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
Slice and serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat!
