Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Evaporated milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cup Pecans, halved for garnish
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, stirring until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually add the cooled butter-sugar mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 5

Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth and combined.

Step 6

Stir in the evaporated milk, creating a creamy chocolate filling.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Arrange the pecan halves on top for garnish.

Step 9

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly puffed around the edges.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will set further as it cools.

Step 11

Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
