INGREDIENTS

  • Pie Base

    • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

  • Filling

    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 🥛 1 tablespoon milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🟫 1 cup light brown sugar
    • 💎 ¼ cup white sugar
    • 🌾 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and hot
    • 1 ½ cups roughly chopped pecans
    • 🍫 ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest shelf.

2

Place dough in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges if desired.

3

Whisk eggs in a large bowl with a wire whisk until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and vanilla. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, and flour until incorporated. Pour in melted butter and whisk until fully combined. Stir in pecans.

4

Spread chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Gently pour filling over top and gently tap the pie pan so the filling settles.

5

Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes more.

6

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving, about 2 hours. You can refrigerate it once it's reached room temperature and serve cold, if desired.
