Decadent chocolate pecan pie is made with a homemade pie crust, and filled with chocolatey goodness and crunchy pecans.
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup coarsely chopped semi sweet or unsweetened chocolate (I used some of both)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 whole eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- ¼ cup whole pecans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave at half power, stirring every 30 seconds till smooth.
- Whisk in the sugar, brown sugar, and salt till mixture is well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk till smooth.
- Place pie dough in a 9 inch pie plate. Spread the chopped pecans in the bottom of the pie crust. Pour filling over the top. If desired, garnish pie with whole pecans.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or till top is crackled and center of pie is no longer jiggly.
- Cool for several hours or chill. Pie will set up as it cools.
Notes
STORE the pie at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
FREEZE. If you wrap it tightly in foil, it will keep in the freezer for about 2 months.
