This twist on a classic pecan pie recipe adds semi-sweet chocolate and some cocoa to the batter. The result is a rich and buttery pie with great chocolate pecan flavor.
A Holiday Favorite
Who doesn’t love a down-home, comfort food in the form of a mouthwatering, chocolatey dessert?!
Ingredients
Pecans: Crunchy pecans add flavor to this recipe (other nuts work too though). Toast the pecans by baking in the oven and cool before adding to the pie for the best flavor. Chocolate: This pie gets a double dose of chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate chips and cocoa powder. FILLING True to a traditional pie, the filling also contains some eggs, corn syrup and of course butter. Don’t forget the house-made whipped cream!
How to Make Chocolate Pecan Pie
Bake the pie and allow it to cool for at least two hours after baking so it can set properly.
Make-Ahead & Storage
One of our favorite things about this recipe is that it’s best made ahead! Bake and cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve (it can be served at room temperature too). If storing more than 6 hours, cover the pie with plastic wrap. It will keep about 4 days. To freeze chocolate pecan pie bake as directed and cool completely on the counter. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and serve with whipped cream.
