# Ingredients:
→ 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 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
# Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in ice water until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
02 -
Set oven temperature to 175°C (350°F).
03 -
On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit a 23-cm (9-inch) pie pan. Transfer to the pan, trim and crimp edges. Prick the bottom several times with a fork.
04 -
In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs until smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract, pecan halves, and chocolate chips.
05 -
Pour the chocolate-pecan filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and barely jiggles when lightly shaken.
06 -
Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing. This ensures the filling sets properly.
# Notes:
01 -
This pie combines the classic Texas pecan pie with rich chocolate for an indulgent dessert.
02 -
For best results, use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing with the other ingredients.
