Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of this Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie. A perfect blend of dark chocolate, toasted pecans, and a hint of vanilla encased in a flaky pie crust.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade)
  • 1 egg white lightly beaten (for brushing)

For the Filling

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges.
  2. Toast pecans: Spread pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool.
  3. Melt chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  4. Prepare filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the melted chocolate.
  5. Assemble pie: Brush pie crust with egg white. Add half of the toasted pecans. Pour in the chocolate filling. Top with remaining pecans decoratively.
  6. Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Use foil or a pie shield if crust browns too quickly.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve at room temp or chilled, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
