Chef John's Chocolate Pecan Pie

Recipe by John Mitzewich from allrecipes.com

Dessert 3 Hr.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and hot
  • 1.5 cups roughly chopped pecans
  • 0.333 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest shelf.
  • Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges if desired.
  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl with a wire whisk until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and vanilla. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, and flour until incorporated. Pour in melted butter and whisk until fully combined. Stir in pecans.
  • Spread chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Gently pour filling over top and gently tap the pie pan so the filling settles.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving, about 2 hours. You can refrigerate it once it's reached room temperature and serve cold, if desired.
