Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust by combining flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in ice water until just combined. Shape into a disk and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbles.
  4. For the filling, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract, pecans, and chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for about 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
