Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust Use a pre-made or homemade crust.
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar Can be adjusted for sweetness.
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional Serving Suggestions
- Whipped cream For serving.
- Extra pecans or chocolate shavings For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and fluting the edges as desired. Keep the crust chilled while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in the pecan halves and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Baking
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set but the center still jiggles slightly. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Allow the pie to cool completely to set the filling.
- Serve with whipped cream, extra pecans, or chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
