Description
A classic Southern dessert featuring a rich, gooey chocolate and pecan filling baked in a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
- Pour mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow pie to cool completely before slicing.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and crunch.
- Check pie at 40 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- Letting the pie cool fully helps the filling set properly.
