Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Brownie Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves or chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Prepare Brownie Filling: In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture while whisking. Stir in flour, then fold in pecans.
- Bake: Pour the brownie filling into the pie crust. Bake for 40–45 minutes until set. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Use chopped pecans for a more uniform texture or pecan halves for a classic look.
- The pie can be made a day ahead and stored at room temperature.
