Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (unbaked, 9-inch)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing lightly to fit it snugly. Trim any overhanging edges and crimp the edges if desired.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the chocolate chunks and pecan halves, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center may still jiggle slightly, but it will firm up as it cools.
Step 7
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
Step 8
Slice and serve on its own or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
