Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie is a rich and indulgent dessert combining the nutty crunch of pecans with smooth, melted chocolate in a buttery pie crust. This classic Southern treat features a gooey chocolate pecan filling sweetened with corn syrup and baked to a perfectly set finish, making it an irresistible centerpiece for holidays and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature as you prepare the pie.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips evenly.
  3. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the chocolate pecan filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it out evenly to the edges.
  4. Bake: Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center should be firm but slightly jiggly when you gently shake the pan.
  5. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the filling fully set and make slicing easier.
  6. Serve: Once cooled, slice the pie and serve as is or topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For a deeper chocolate flavor, use bittersweet chocolate chips instead of semisweet.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to prevent the filling from being too runny.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If using a homemade crust, blind bake it for 10 minutes to avoid a soggy bottom.
