Chocolate Pecan Pie
This chocolate pecan pie is very easy to make. No mixer required and you can use a store bought crust for a quick and delicious dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves approx 12 oz
- 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips 5 oz
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Place pie crust in a 9 inch glass pan. Prick the bottom and turn under and crimp edges.
- Beat eggs in a separate bowl and set aside.
- Chop half of the pecans and reserve the other half for decorating the top.
- Melt chocolate and butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan.
- Once the chocolate has melted remove from heat and add in the brown sugar and corn syrup. Stir until the sugar melts and is well combined.
- Add eggs, vanilla, and nuts. Stir well.
- Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake for 1 hour, checking about halfway to make sure the crust doesn't burn. Use a crust shield or some aluminum foil if the crust starts to look too brown.
- Remove and allow to cool for 20 minutes or more before serving.
Notes
This can be made several hours in advance, even a day ahead, and it will still taste great. Just make sure to keep it covered once it has cooled. Serve it with whipped cream or ice cream on the side for an even more decadent dessert.
