How to Make Chocolate Pecan Pie

1. Prepare the unbaked crust.

You can make this from scratch or buy it from the store, whatever you prefer. Here are the links to my three favorite homemade pie crusts (they are SUPER simple and approachable, even for a pie crust novice):

2. Prepare the Filling

Nothing fancy or complicated here! Melt the chocolate and then whisk everything together. Couldn’t be simpler. Pour the filling into the prepared crust (by the way, I like to use a deep dish pie pan for this recipe, but you could make it work with something shallower as long as you don’t fill the crust all the way up to the top. Be sure to leave at least a 1/2 inch of crust above the filling).

3. Bake the Pie

At 350ºF for about an hour. If the top starts to look like it’s burning, simply cover it up with foil and keep baking. The very center should be jiggly when it’s done, but the pie filling should NOT look like it’s sloshing around.

Let it Cool and Enjoy!

The pie should really be served completely cooled. I usually try to make this the day before serving it so that it slices up and plates nicely. It’s delicious served with homemade whipped cream!
