Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • For the Chocolate Layer:
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Pecan Layer:
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  3. Make the Chocolate Layer: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave), melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  5. Make the Pecan Layer: In a medium bowl, combine pecan halves, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the pecans are evenly coated.
  6. Spoon the pecan mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
