Chocolate Pecan Pie
There's only one way to improve on pecan pie - add chocolate! Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey shows you how to assemble this sweet dessert.
- Prep Time 15 minutes
- Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes, plus cooling
- Yield Serves 10
Ingredients
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 recipe Basic Pie Crust, rolled and fit into a 9-inch pie plate
- 1 cup pecans
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes (or melt chocolate in microwave). Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together (do not whisk) eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stirring constantly, gradually add melted chocolate. Pour filling into prepared crust; place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange pecans in one even layer over filling.
-
Bake just until set (filling should jiggle slightly when pie plate is tapped), 50 to 60 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 4 hours (or up to overnight) before serving.
I have done cookies, brownies, muffins and some cakes... I have never done a pie before, but i really want to do this one!! Do you have any good advice for a newbie?
I made this for our Thanksgiving pie today. Delicious and very rich. I was a little surprised that the chocolate rose to the top and the sugar/corn syrup mixture stayed as a neat layer on the bottom. A very pretty presentation.

The first time I made this, I had the runny problem too. Next time, I stirred and simmered all of the filling ingredients (except pecans) to 140 degrees F, like one would do with lemon pie filling. Then continued with the recipe as written. No more gloppiness.
I had the same problem. I cut into my pie and it was runny in the middle.
What happened??
Does the pie crust need to be prebaked for this recipe? I know it doesn't say to do that, but for some reason I thought it should be.
i had made this pie and when i cut it it was runny like molasses runny not watery what happened

This is probably the richest pie I have ever eaten. It is delicious, but be sure to take a small slice. It's super easy to make, and everyone loved it.
