Ingredients:

– 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
– 1 cup pecan halves
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup light corn syrup
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges decoratively. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the pecan halves and chocolate chips. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

5. Pour the egg mixture over the pecans and chocolate chips in the pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.

6. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and prevent spills in the oven.

7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.

8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

9. Once cooled, slice the Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.

Enjoy the rich and decadent flavors of this Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie that perfectly combines the sweetness of pecans with the richness of chocolate in every bite.
