Semi-Sweet Chocolate Pecan Pie

This crowd-pleasing version of chocolate pecan pie uses semi-sweet chocolate and a generous amount of pecan halves for that iconic sweet, nutty combination.

Light corn syrup creates a clear, glossy filling that lets the chocolate and pecans shine. The semi-sweet chocolate melts into the custard for balanced sweetness throughout.

With 1½ cups of pecan halves, you get substantial nut crunch in every forkful. The filling bakes until a knife inserted halfway comes out clean while the center stays soft.

Serve this at holidays, potlucks, or any time you need a dessert that looks impressive but comes together easily.

Pro Tips

• Toast pecans for 5 minutes before adding for deeper flavor
• Test doneness halfway between center and edge, not in the very center
• Let cool completely so the filling sets properly
• Warm slightly before serving for that just-baked taste
• Pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
