Mocha Pecan Pie

Indulge in the rich, decadent flavors of Mocha Pecan Pie—a luxurious twist on the classic Southern dessert. This irresistible recipe combines the nutty crunch of pecan halves with the bold, aromatic notes of brewed coffee and cocoa powder, all nestled in a buttery, flaky pie crust. Velvety semisweet chocolate chips add bursts of sweetness, perfectly complementing the smooth and gooey filling made with brown sugar, light corn syrup, and a hint of vanilla. The pie bakes to golden perfection, creating a subtly puffed, caramelized top that gives way to a luscious, mocha-infused center.

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Light corn syrup
• 3 tablespoons Brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 cups Pecan halves
• 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out your unbaked pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and set it aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, brewed coffee, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Gradually whisk the slightly cooled sugar-butter mixture into the beaten eggs until fully combined. Be sure to add the hot mixture slowly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 6

Spread the pecan halves and chocolate chips evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 7

Pour the filling mixture over the pecans and chocolate chips, ensuring everything is well coated and evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the pie on the middle oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly puffed. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. This will allow the filling to set properly.

Step 10

Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
