A rich and indulgent Texas-style dessert combining gooey chocolate and crunchy pecans in a buttery, flaky crust. Perfect for holidays or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust (butter-based recommended)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
  • 2 cups pecans, roughly chopped (reserve a few whole for garnish)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rack in the center position.
  2. Roll out the pie crust and press it gently into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges and crimp them for a decorative finish.
  3. Spread the chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Place the dish in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the chocolate softens. Remove and use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Fold in the chopped pecans.
  5. Pour the filling over the melted chocolate layer in the pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the pecans evenly.
  6. Bake the pie for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are golden. The center should jiggle slightly but not feel liquid when gently shaken.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature eggs and butter for a smooth filling.’, ‘Cover the pie edges with foil if they start to brown too quickly.’, ‘Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.’, ‘For a boozy twist, add 2 tablespoons of bourbon or rum to the filling.’]
