# What You Need:
→ Pie Crust
01 -
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
03 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
04 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar
05 -
1/4 cup ice water
→ Filling
06 -
1 cup light corn syrup
07 -
1 cup packed brown sugar
08 -
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
09 -
4 large eggs
10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 -
2 cups pecan halves
12 -
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter and cut in using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring until the dough begins to come together. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
02 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a disc approximately 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges as desired. Place the pie dish in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together light corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
04 -
Sprinkle pecan halves evenly over the chilled crust. Pour the chocolate filling over the pecans, ensuring they are distributed uniformly. Scatter semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top.
05 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie on the center rack for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If needed, tent the edges of the crust with foil to prevent excessive browning.
06 -
Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For a cleaner slice, refrigerate the pie for at least one hour before serving. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence.
