Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of a Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie. This dessert combines the sweetness of corn syrup and sugar with the crunch of toasted pecans and the richness of dark chocolate chips, all nestled in a flaky pie crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust:

  • 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade)

Filling:

  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten (for brushing)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges.
  2. Toast the pecans: Spread pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool.
  3. Melt the chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  4. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the melted chocolate.
  5. Assemble the pie: Brush the pie crust with egg white. Add half of the toasted pecans. Pour in the chocolate filling and top with the remaining pecans decoratively.
  6. Bake the pie: Bake for 50–60 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Use foil or a pie shield if the crust browns too quickly.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
