Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup pecan halves, lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- Evenly spread the toasted pecans over the bottom of the crust, then sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and corn syrup until smooth.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture and whisk until glossy and fully combined.
- Slowly pour the filling over the pecans and chocolate, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, until the center is set but slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the tart cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to firm up.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Chop pecans for a more even texture throughout the tart.
- Add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the filling for extra richness.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a balanced dessert.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing for clean, firm portions.
