Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Dark brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 1 9-inch Premade pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp or flute the edges if desired for a decorative look.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, ensuring the pecans are evenly arranged on the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed in the center. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent over-browning.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set further for easier slicing.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy the decadent richness of this chocolate pecan pie!
