Chef John's Chocolate Pecan Pie

Servings:

A 5-star pecan pie recipe can't get much better, but anything will always benefit from a little added chocolate! This easy and delicious recipe is based on Elaine Helms' popularPecan Pie V, but I've added a touch of chocolate which puts this into a whole other league of dessert awesomeness!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest shelf.
  2. 2 Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges if desired.
  3. 3 Whisk eggs in a large bowl with a wire whisk until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and vanilla. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, and flour until incorporated. Pour in melted butter and whisk until fully combined. Stir in pecans.
  4. 4 Spread chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Gently pour filling over top and gently tap the pie pan so the filling settles.
  5. 5 Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes more.
  6. 6 Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving, about 2 hours. You can refrigerate it once it's reached room temperature and serve cold, if desired.
