Make this rich and gooey Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie. This recipe combines deep chocolate flavor with crunchy pecans in a buttery crust for a decadent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour.
  3. Add the melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecan halves until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  5. Pour the filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly. The edges should look firm.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling takes several hours to allow the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For a fudgier texture, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
  • This pie tastes best when served at room temperature or slightly chilled.
