Description

This Chocolate Fudge Pecan Pie is a rich, decadent twist on the classic pecan pie. With a gooey chocolate fudge filling, crunchy pecans, and a buttery pie crust, it’s the perfect holiday dessert or treat for chocolate lovers!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Pie Crust (or use store-bought):

  • 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold & cubed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2–4 tbsp ice water

For the Chocolate Fudge Pecan Filling:

  • 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) light corn syrup (or maple syrup for a twist)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (50g) whole pecans (for topping, optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Pie Crust (Skip if Using Store-Bought)

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, mixing until dough holds together.
  3. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out on a floured surface, fit into a 9-inch pie pan, and trim the edges.

2. Prepare the Fudge Filling

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt chocolate chips and butter together in a heatproof bowl (microwave in 30-second intervals or use a double boiler). Stir until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and salt.
  4. Slowly whisk in the melted chocolate mixture.
  5. Stir in chopped pecans.

3. Assemble & Bake

  1. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  2. Arrange whole pecans on top for decoration (optional).
  3. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  4. Let cool for 2 hours before slicing.

4. Serve & Enjoy

  • Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

Notes

  • Want extra crunch? Toast the pecans for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before adding them.
  • Make it extra chocolatey: Add ½ cup mini chocolate chips into the filling.
  • Storage: Keep covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
