Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and gently press it into the edges. Trim any excess dough if needed.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Melted butter
- Vanilla extract
Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the flour and salt, then mix again until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate and Pecans
Fold the chopped pecans and chocolate chips into the filling using a spatula.
Mix gently so they're evenly distributed.
Step 4: Fill the Pie
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Spread it evenly with the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
If the crust begins browning too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes.
Step 6: Cool
Allow the pie to cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing.
This helps the filling set properly.
