Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.375 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 0.25 cup ice water

Filling

  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup light corn syrup
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1.5 cups pecan halves

Instructions
 

Crust Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  • Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  • Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
  • Freeze the crust for 15 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and pecan halves.

Assembly and Baking

  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  • Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature. Delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
