Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light corn syrup
- 3 count large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups pecan halves
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 count prepared pie crust (9-inch)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and cocoa powder together, stirring continuously, until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Slowly whisk the melted cocoa mixture into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Pour the filling mixture over the chocolate chips and then arrange the pecan halves decoratively over the top of the filling.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
