Yield: 1 pie
Temp: 350°F (175°C)
Time: 50–60 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust
    Place the unbaked pie crust into a pie dish. Scatter chocolate chips and pecans evenly inside. This layering gives the pie its signature fudgy center — a favorite texture in chocolate holiday desserts.
  2. Make the Filling
    In a bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. Pour & Bake
    Pour the filling over the pecans and chocolate. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is mostly set and the top is golden.
  4. Cool Before Slicing
    Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours. As it rests, the filling becomes thick, gooey, and sliceable — just like a classic pecan pie but richer and more indulgent.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • Drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra decadence.
  • Garnish with toasted pecans for added crunch.

Readers searching for easy Thanksgiving pies, Christmas dessert ideas, and Southern chocolate pecan pie will love this comforting and elegant recipe.

Tips

  • Lightly toast pecans before baking for deeper flavor.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for a less sweet version.
  • If the crust browns too quickly, cover edges with foil.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days — the flavor gets even better.
