Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 150 grams Pecans, roughly chopped
- 50 grams Whole pecans (for topping, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9-inch pie dish with the pre-made pie crust, trimming any excess from the edges. Crimp the edges for decoration, if desired. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
Slowly whisk in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, followed by the all-purpose flour, until smooth and evenly combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
If desired, arrange whole pecans on top of the filling for decorative purposes.
Place the pie on the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 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. This will allow the filling to firm up as it cools.
Slice and serve the pie as is, or top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
