Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • wire rack

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

For the Filling

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.

Making the Filling

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup until well combined.
  • Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
  • Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Baking the Pie

  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, you can toast your pecans before adding them to the filling. This pie is delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
