Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie
A rich blend of chocolate, crunchy pecans, and a silky filling in a buttery crust, this Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie is the ultimate sweet and nutty indulgence for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust or homemade if preferred
For the Filling:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups pecan halves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the Garnish Optional:
- Whipped cream
- Extra pecans or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch dish, pressing it into place and trimming any excess. Set aside.
- Whisk together corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the syrup mixture.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the filling is set with a slight jiggle. Cover the edges with foil if the crust browns too quickly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack to firm up. Slice and serve with whipped cream, extra pecans, or chocolate shavings.
