Ingredients
  

For the pie

  • 1 piece pie crust Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped Toast for enhanced flavor
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Can substitute half with bittersweet for deeper flavor
  • 3 pieces eggs
  • 1 cup corn syrup Can be substituted with maple syrup
  • 1 cup sugar Can replace half with brown sugar for richer flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted Can substitute with vegan butter for dairy-free option

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie crust and spread evenly.

Baking

  • Bake for 60–70 minutes or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

For best results, let the pie cool at least 2–3 hours to fully set. You can also refrigerate for better structure and flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
