Easy Fudgy Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe

This dark chocolate variation is rich and indulgent, just as a dark chocolate pecan pie should be. Even though, it’s gilding the lily I can’t pass up the opportunity to drizzle the pie with additional warm chocolate ganache. It wouldn’t be complete without a generous scoop, or two of vanilla ice cream. How to make Fudgy Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

• Toast Pecans – Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking pan. Place into a preheated 350°F oven and toast for 6-8 minutes. Cool completely.
• Prepare Pan – Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 inch deep dish pie or 10 inch tart pan with cooking spray. Press crust firmly onto bottom and sides of pan. Crimp or flute edges.
• Chocolate Chips – Separate chocolate chips reserving 1 cup in a microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle remaining on bottom of crust along with toasted pecans.
• Melt Chocolate – In a microwave safe bowl melt 1 cup chocolate chips with butter. Heat in 20 second increments stopping to stir each time. Repeat until smooth.
• Filling – In a medium size mixing bowl using an electric mixer beat together corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla until fully combined. Beat in melted chocolate.
• Pour filling evenly into pie crust.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until set when gently shaken.
• Cool for 2 hours on a cooling rack.

How to Make the BEST Fudgy Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make Fudgy Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie:  9 inch deep dish pie crust, dark chocolate chips, salted butter, roughly chopped pecan pieces toasted, dark corn syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, large eggs, all purpose flour and vanilla.
• Chocolate Ganache Drizzle: Dark chocolate chips and heavy cream. Vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for serving.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: 9 or 10 inch tart pan, medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons, sheet pan, whisk and cooling rack.
• This pie can be baked in a 10 inch tart pan or a 9 inch deep dish pie pan. A 10 inch tart pan will yield a thinner pie and may need slightly less time to bake. If you bake this pie in a 9-inch deep pie pan increase the baking time to 45-50 minutes.
• It’s well worth the small amount of effort it takes to roast the pecans for a deeper flavor.
• The filling will puff up while baking but will settle as it cools.
• While I use dark chocolate chips, you could adapt using semi-sweet or milk chocolate if needed. I highly recommend the deep dark chocolate flavor.
• You can enjoy this pie warm with vanilla ice cream or with a big dollop of fresh whipped cream.
• Store Fudgy Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
