Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Halved pecans (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a store-bought pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If making a homemade crust, roll it out and line the pie dish, trimming any excess dough.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture and whisk again until smooth.

Step 5

Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, then stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped pecans, then pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Arrange the halved pecans on top of the filling in a decorative pattern for garnish.

Step 8

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The filling will continue to set as it cools.

Step 10

Slice and serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat!
