Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust by combining flour, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then stir in ice water to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract, pecan halves, and chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for 50-60 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool on a wire rack for at least two hours before slicing.
