Description
Pecan pie is a classic dessert for the holidays, and this variation is made even more delicious with a layer of rich, melted chocolate that turns the filling into a decadent texture. Our easy chocolate pecan pie comes together like traditional pecan pie, but the addition of semi-sweet chocolate chips lends a pleasant, slightly warm bitterness to counter the combination of corn syrup and sugar, all while pairing perfectly with the crunch and nuttiness of pecans. No Thanksgiving spread would be complete without a slice of this chocolate pecan pie, especially when garnished with a dollop of homemade vanilla whipped cream. For other pecan treats, try our mini pecan pies and caramel pecan fudge that make great grab-and-go desserts for holiday bake sales or gift-giving.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (from 14.1-ounce package)
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3 Tbsp. milk
- 4 eggs
- 3 Tbsp. butter (melted)
- 2 tsp. McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. McCormick Cinnamon (Ground)
- 1/4 tsp. McCormick Allspice, Ground
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare pie crust as directed on package for one-crust pie using 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Press crust firmly into bottom and up sides of pie plate, making sure there are no bubbles or cracks. Bake 7 minutes. Remove crust from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.Test Kitchen Tip: To help keep pie crust from settling or slumping when blind baking, line inside of pie crust with parchment. Fill evenly with pie weights, dry beans (about 1 1/2 pounds), or even granulated sugar before baking. Carefully remove parchment and weight before filling pie.
- Meanwhile, microwave chocolate chips and milk in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Pour chocolate evenly over crust.
- Beat eggs in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Slowly pour mixture over chocolate layer. Place ring of foil around edges of crust to prevent over-browning.
- Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until filling is puffed and center is still soft enough to move when shaken gently. Cool on completely wire rack.
