Chocolate chip pecan pie combines the traditional flavors of pecan pie with the addition of decadent chocolate chips. This pie will quickly be a favorite!
6Tablespoonsunsalted butter,melted and slightly cooled
1/2cuplight corn syrup,such a Karo
1/2cupall-purpose flour
1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips,use high quality baking chips such as Guittard, Ghiradelli etc.
1 1/2cupswhole pecans,separated
Instructions
Roll out the prepared pie crust and press into a 9” pie plate. Trim and flute edges of crust.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Using a mixer, beat on high until the mixture turns pale yellow, about 4-5 minutes.
Add in the vanilla extract, salt, melted butter and corn syrup. Add in the all-purpose flour.
Roughly chop 1/2 cup of the pecans and add to the filling along with the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Top the filling with the remainder of the pecans. Use a pie shield or foil to protect the pie crust from browning too quickly and place the pie on a sheet pan or cookie sheet to catch any of the filling that boils over.
Bake at 350°F for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until the filling has set in the middle (it should not jiggle when you gently shake the pie).
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack; serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
Pie will keep 3 days refrigerated; frozen up to 45 days. Allow to thaw completely in refrigerator before serving.
