Ingredients

• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light corn syrup
• 3 count large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups pecan halves
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 count prepared pie crust (9-inch)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and cocoa powder together, stirring continuously, until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly whisk the melted cocoa mixture into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Pour the filling mixture over the chocolate chips and then arrange the pecan halves decoratively over the top of the filling.

Step 7

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
