Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 4-6 tablespoons ice water
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Stir in the pecan halves and chocolate chips.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool completely before serving.
