Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 180 grams Pecans
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 whole Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
Add the eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Slowly whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Roughly chop half of the pecans and stir them into the filling mixture. Reserve the other half of the pecans for decoration.
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
Arrange the reserved whole pecans in a decorative pattern on top of the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours to set fully before serving.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
