Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, fitting it snugly and crimping the edges if desired. Set aside.
Scatter the semisweet chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
On top of the chocolate chips, arrange the pecan halves in an even layer. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Carefully pour the filling mixture over the chocolate chips and pecans, ensuring the liquid distributes evenly and covers most of the pecans.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills. Transfer it to the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and only slightly jiggles in the center when moved.
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack (this step helps the filling fully set).
Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warmed, either plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
