Bake a rich, gooey Texas Chocolate Pecan Pie that combines deep chocolate flavor with crunchy pecans in a buttery crust. This recipe delivers a decadent dessert perfect for holidays or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Add the melted butter, corn syrup, and lightly beaten eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour half of the pecan halves into the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
  5. Carefully pour the chocolate filling mixture over the pecans in the crust.
  6. Arrange the remaining pecan halves decoratively on top of the filling.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the gooey filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the corn syrup with bourbon.
  • If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly during baking, cover them loosely with aluminum foil strips.
  • You can toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the pie for a deeper nutty flavor.
