Kentucky Chocolate Pecan Pie


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
  • 1 cup chopped pecans 🌰
  • 2 large eggs, beaten 🥚
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 🍚
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted 🧈
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍶
  • 1 (9-inch) deep-dish unbaked pie shell 🥧
  • Pinch of salt 🧂 (optional)
  • Vanilla ice cream to serve 🍨 (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, beaten eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Place the unbaked deep-dish pie shell on a baking sheet and pour the filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake for about 60 minutes. The surface should feel set and the center slightly jiggly — it will continue to firm as it cools.
  5. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil after 30–40 minutes of baking.
  6. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. Chill longer if you prefer firmer slices.
  7. Serve slices slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for best results. Enjoy!
