Make this rich, fudgy chocolate pecan pie that balances sweet, salty, and nutty flavors. This recipe delivers a decadent, crowd-pleasing dessert perfect for your holiday table.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt.
  3. Pour in the melted butter and corn syrup. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and the lightly beaten eggs until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the toasted pecan halves.
  6. Pour the filling mixture evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still have a slight jiggle when gently moved. If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil halfway through baking.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the gooey filling to set properly.
  9. Serve this showstopper dessert at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Notes

  • To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 to 8 minutes until fragrant. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • This pie tastes even better the next day, making it a great option for holiday meal prep.
