Easy Chocolate Chip Toffee Pecan Pie Recipe

This pie is reminiscent of a Derby Pie and the addition of toffee chips adds another dimension of flavor. The toffee melts while the pie is baking and mingles with the sugar and butter to form a gooey caramel layer. How to make simple Chocolate Chip Pie with Pecans:

  • Crust – One 9 inch deep dish pie crust either frozen or homemade.
  • Filling – All purpose flour, salted or unsalted butter, salt, light brown sugar and granulated sugar.
  • Eggs – 2 large eggs.
  • Flavoring – Vanilla extract.
  • Mix-ins – Chopped pecan pieces, semi-sweet chocolate chips and chocolate covered or plain English toffee bits.
  • Heavy cream.

How to Make the BEST Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Recipe

  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: Deep dish pie pan, medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons, small bowls, whisk, sheet pan, nut chopper or sharp knife and cutting board.
  • Southern pecans shine in this pie but you can use walnuts, almonds or any of your favorite nuts in their place.
  • There’s no need to thaw a frozen pie shell prior to baking.
  • I recommend that you use a frozen pie crust due to the length of time it requires to bake. It helps keep the edges from over baking and it makes this pie come together in minutes.
  • If you prefer a homemade crust, checkout my recipe for Flaky Pie Crust. You’ll need to dock the bottom and blind bake a homemade crust for 8 minutes prior to filling.
  • You could swap out dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Check the pie halfway through baking and cover the edges of the crust with foil if needed, to avoid over browning.
  • For a timesaver, this pie can be assembled and baked in advance. When doing so, allow it to cool completely, then reheat each piece and drizzle with chocolate ganache just before serving.
  • The chocolate ganache drizzle is gilding the lily, but it’s so very good. You can top this pie with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store baked Chocolate Chip Toffee Pecan Pie chilled in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or at room temperature for 3 days.

  1. When you say to make a day ahead to let it completely cool, do you mean to refrigerate it?

    1. You can cover and chill for the most clean slice of pie, but it can be left at room temperature also.
