Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

For the Crust:

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust store-bought or homemade

For the Filling:

• 1 cup light corn syrup
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups pecan halves
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

 

Preheat Oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.

Prepare the Filling:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add Pecans and Chocolate:

1. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips until evenly combined.

Assemble the Pie:

1. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.

Bake:

1. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover with foil for the last 15 minutes.

Cool:

1. Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature for 2–3 hours before slicing.

Serve:

1. Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Check Doneness: The center should be set but still have a slight jiggle; it will firm up as it cools.

Chocolate Variation: Use dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor.

Nut Substitutions: Walnuts or a mix of pecans and walnuts work well if you prefer.

Make Ahead: Pie can be made a day in advance; store at room temperature in a covered pie dish.

Storage: Keep covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
