We've made this beloved Southern dessert even more tempting by adding dark chocolate. The pie filling puffs up during baking but settles as it cools.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 recipe Basic Pie Crust, rolled and fit into a 9-inch pie plate
1 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes (or melt chocolate in microwave). Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together (do not whisk) eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stirring constantly, gradually add melted chocolate. Pour filling into prepared crust; place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange pecans in one even layer over filling.
  • Bake just until set (filling should jiggle slightly when pie plate is tapped), 50 to 60 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 4 hours (or up to overnight) before serving.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and hot
1 ½ cups roughly chopped pecans
⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest shelf.
  • Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges if desired.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl with a wire whisk until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and vanilla. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, and flour until incorporated. Pour in melted butter and whisk until fully combined. Stir in pecans.
  • Spread chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Gently pour filling over top and gently tap the pie pan so the filling settles.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving, about 2 hours. You can refrigerate it once it's reached room temperature and serve cold, if desired.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Be sure to toast the pecans before adding them to the pie. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • If you don't have a pie crust on hand, you can use a pre-made one from the store.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The center should be set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it to set properly.
