Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Adds sweetness and depth of flavor; don’t substitute with other chocolates.
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans Provides crunch and richness; measure one cup after chopping for accuracy.
  • 3 pieces Eggs Using room temperature eggs helps with even mixing.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Can substitute with brown sugar but may change sweetness and texture.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Unsalted butter is ideal, but salted works in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour Avoid self-rising flour to prevent overflowing.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Imitation vanilla can be used if that’s your preference.
Pie Shell
  • 1 deep-dish unbaked Pie Shell Use frozen or refrigerated varieties as needed.
