How to Make Decadent Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie

  • Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled unsalted butter until you achieve coarse crumbs, then gradually add ice water until a dough forms. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  • Preheat Oven: While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for baking.
  • Roll Out the Pie Crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer the crust into the pan, trim any excess, and crimp the edges for a beautiful finish.
  • Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together corn syrup, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  • Assemble the Pie: Gently fold the chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the filling mixture. Carefully pour this delightful blend into the prepared crust.
  • Bake: Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.
  • Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.

Notes

Drizzle with warm chocolate sauce for an extra layer of indulgence! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
