Print Recipe

This Layered Chocolate Pecan Pie is a decadent twist on a classic, featuring a rich chocolate filling topped with a crunchy, buttery pecan layer. It’s the perfect indulgent dessert for any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chocolate Layer:
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Pecan Layer:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

    • 1/2 cup light corn syrup

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Make the Chocolate Layer: In a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals), melt chocolate chips and heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in beaten eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the Chocolate Layer: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  4. Make the Pecan Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir in vanilla extract and beaten eggs until well combined. Fold in pecan halves.
  5. Pour the Pecan Layer: Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the chocolate layer in the pie crust.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the pecan layer is set and golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  7. Cool: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Notes

Serve chilled or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
