Pecan Chocolate Pie

Traditional pecan pie is a classic dessert around the holiday season but have you ever tried it with a chocolate twist? This is the best pecan pie because of its unique chocolate pecan filling. Plus, it’s a super easy recipe that you can have on your holiday table in no time. It’s great to enjoy after Thanksgiving dinner or on other special holidays!

How to Make Chocolate Pecan Pie

Preheat the oven and place pie crust out to defrost. For exact measurements and oven temperature, see the recipe card below.  To start the pie filling, mix the eggs and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Include the corn syrup and vanilla and mix. In a separate medium bowl, mix the butter and cocoa powder to create the chocolate sauce. Once mixed, add to the egg mixture and mix more. Fold in the pecans and dark chocolate chips. Once combined, pour into the crust. Pop any bubbles on top of the pie. Bake as instructed. The chocolate pecan pie should be golden brown. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before slicing. Add whipped cream if desired, serve, and enjoy your chocolate chip pecan pie!

Ingredient Notes

Deep Dish Frozen Pie Crust: If you want to use a traditional frozen pie crust you may, but you will have more filling than will fit in the crust. You can either use 2 separate pie crusts and split the filling evenly or use only the amount of filling that will fit in your crust and discard the rest. Eggs: Bind the filling. Brown sugar: You can use dark brown sugar but the pie will turn out a darker color; it may look burnt. Corn syrup: Light corn syrup is usually used but you can use dark corn syrup. It will change the color of the pie. Vanilla: Enhances the flavors of the pie. Salted Butter: You can also use unsalted butter but I recommend adding a pinch or 2 of salt for flavor balance. Cocoa Powder: Adds chocolatey flavor to the pie. Pecans: Pecan halves work best in this recipe. You can use pecan pieces or chopped pecans but the pie won’t look quite as good. You won’t have that typical pecan pie look. Chocolate Chips: You can also use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for a sweeter result.
