Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 9 inch homemade pie dough crust or 1 store bought rolled unbaked pie crust, from a 14 ounce package
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
  • whipped cream for serving
  • chocolate shavings for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Carefully roll out your pie dough and gently press into the pie plate. (Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. Flute or crimp the edges of the crust. No need to pre-bake the crust.)
  • Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the dough, spreading them out into an even layer.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and melted chocolate. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  • Slowly pour the mixture over the pecans, making sure everything gets coated.
  • Bake on the center rack for about 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie appears barely set, depending on your oven.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  • Serve with a dollop of homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.

Notes

Pecan pie is done at the first signs of solidity in the center of the pie and no longer jiggly. A cooking thermometer should register an internal temperature of 200 degrees F when done.
