Chocolate Pecan Pie 🍫🥧
This Chocolate Pecan Pie is rich, gooey, and indulgent with the perfect combination of sweet pecans and creamy chocolate fudge. Thanks to Hershey’s Hot Fudge topping, it’s incredibly easy to put together—perfect for holidays or anytime you’re craving a decadent dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 jar (12.8 oz / 362 g) Hershey’s Hot Fudge Topping
- 1 cup chopped pecans (plus extra halves for topping)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the pecans evenly inside the unbaked pie crust.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- Warm the Hershey’s Hot Fudge slightly in the microwave (just enough to make it pourable), then stir it into the egg mixture.
- Pour the filling mixture over the pecans in the pie crust.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool completely before slicing. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Tips & Hints
- For extra richness, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the cooled pie before serving.
- Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.
- This pie keeps well covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Pro Tip: Toast the pecans lightly before baking for an even deeper nutty flavor.
