Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold butter and blend until crumbly. Gradually stir in ice water until combined. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) for an even baking temperature.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer it into the pan and prick the bottom with a fork.
  4. Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract followed by pecans and chocolate chips.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling into your prepared crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow cooling on a wire rack for at least two hours before slicing.
