Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie:
Ingredients:
– 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup light corn syrup
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges as desired.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually whisk the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture until everything is well combined.
5. Add Pecans: Stir in the pecan halves, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
6. Pour and Bake: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top if necessary, and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pie is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or coffee ice cream.
Enjoy your Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie, the perfect combination of rich chocolate and crunchy pecans in every bite!
