Make this rich, gooey Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie that combines deep chocolate flavor with crunchy pecans in a buttery crust. This recipe delivers a showstopper dessert perfect for holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked homemade pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour.
  3. Add the melted butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Whisk in the lightly beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Gently stir in the pecan halves until they are evenly coated in the chocolate filling.
  6. Pour the filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack before slicing. This allows the gooey filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For an extra decadent pie, fold in 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with the pecans.
  • If you prefer a bourbon twist, substitute 2 tablespoons of the corn syrup with bourbon.
  • To prevent the crust edges from burning, cover them with aluminum foil halfway through the baking time.
