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

  • 1/2 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 mixing flour, salt, and sugar together. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water until combined. Form into a disk and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, pricking the bottom with a fork.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips.
  5. Pour filling into the prepared crust and bake for 50-60 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool on a wire rack for at least two hours before serving.
