Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for ensuring that your pie bakes evenly and achieves that tremendous golden crust.
-
Prepare the pie crust: Place the pie crust in a pie dish and pre-bake it for about 10 minutes. This will help create a sturdier base that does not become too soggy once the filling is added.
-
Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and velvety.
-
Incorporate the pecans and chocolate: Gently stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling. The combination of these ingredients will create a tremendous contrast between the rich chocolate and the nutty pecans.
-
Pour the filling into the crust: Carefully pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust, ensuring that the pecans and chocolate are spread evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The filling should be set in the center; a slight jiggle is okay, but it should not be runny.
-
Cool before serving: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing. This step is important, as it helps the filling to firm up and slice more easily.
