Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup (chopped) Dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) Light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the oven rack in the center of the oven.
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired, then set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly while continuing to prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined and smooth.
Slowly whisk the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated in the filling mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, using a spatula to evenly distribute the pecans if needed.
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a bit of chocolate coating.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, about 2–3 hours, before slicing and serving.
Serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
