Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie

Print Recipe

This pie combines the rich, buttery sweetness of a classic pecan pie with pockets of semisweet chocolate, creating a glossy, custardlike filling topped with crunchy, toasted pecans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) pie crust, ready made or homemade
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges as desired.
  2. Combine the corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk gently to avoid incorporating too much air.
  3. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed. Optionally, toast the pecans in a dry skillet for 3 to 4 minutes before chopping.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it into an even layer.
  5. Bake the pie for 60 to 70 minutes, until the center is set. If the crust browns too quickly, tent with foil.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

Notes

Toast pecans for deeper flavor. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too quickly.
