Easy Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe

I’ve really struggled to find a good southern pecan pie recipe in the past but this one is such an easy recipe – so simple and comes out beautifully. It is quite like a traditional pecan pie but has that chocolate kick and is truly the best chocolate pecan pie we’ve tried. Top it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and it’s better than any classic pecan pie recipe!

The other secret to this homemade pecan pie recipe is that I cheat a bit by using a pastry pie shell. Let me tell you what, I know my strengths and buying pastry shells is one of them *grin*. You could of course make a homemade pie crust, but not having to makes this such an easy holiday dessert. As if you aren’t already busy enough with Thanksgiving dinner, having this easy to make perfect pecan pie will make things that much easier.

I shared with you a few weeks ago my recipes for an Creamy Pumpkin Pie (also made with a pastry shell) and these two pies would be a fantastic addition to your Thanksgiving meal and would also make lovely holiday desserts to bring to gatherings.

Also, I might add that while the addition of chocolate here is optional, this chocolate version is so fantastic and a great way to take your pecan pie game to the next level.

Ingredients for making Southern Chocolate Pecan Pie

  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup light corn syrup or dark corn syrup (Karo Syrup)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (milk chocolate chips work as well)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell

Simple and delicious! This is my favorite kind of recipe. It’s also quite dependable and predictable, which is always appreciated when you are making a recipe in a pinch.

If you are looking for a yummy pecan recipe, this is one that can’t be beat. I also love this as a Thanksgiving dessert, especially to bring to family gatherings because while others might bring a pumpkin pie or even a pecan pie – no one ever brings a chocolate pecan pie.

You could garnish the top of the pie with whole pecans. When you serve individual slices you’ll want to put a dollop of whipped cream in the center of the pie slice, and you could top that with a sprig of mint. Since the secret ingredient to this pie is chocolate, it’s perfect for any chocolate lover.

Recipe notes:

My hubby loves to drizzle maple syrup on his slice of pie

Just like with regular pecan pie, you’ll want to cover this with aluminum foil, plastic wrap or store in an airtight container.
