Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pecans are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats and provide vitamin E, which supports heart health. Their natural oils also help create that signature gooey texture without needing excessive added fats.

This Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie elevates your Sweet Sundae dessert spread with the perfect marriage of classic pecan pie and rich chocolate indulgence. The combination of buttery pecan halves and semi-sweet chocolate chips creates layers of flavor and texture that make every bite irresistible. It’s the kind of show-stopping dessert that becomes a family tradition and has everyone asking for the recipe.

    Ingredients

    • 1 9-inch pie crust

    • 1 cup dark corn syrup

    • 0.5 cup sugar

    • 0.25 cup butter, melted

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    • 3 eggs, beaten

    • 1 cup pecan halves

    • 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the pie perfectly.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and continue to whisk until smooth and uniform.
    • Spread the pecan halves evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
    • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the pecans, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor.
    • Pour the wet mixture over the pecans and chocolate chips, filling up to the crust edge.
    • Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
    • Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when ready.
    • Once baked, allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set properly.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
