Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Eggs (3 large)
  • All-purpose flour (1 tablespoon)
  • Brown sugar (1 cup, packed)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
  • Pecans (1 cup, chopped)
  • Pie crust (1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the decadent filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
  7. Slice and enjoy this delightful chocolate chip pecan pie, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
