This pie hits all those notes. It\u2019s buttery, nutty, and richly chocolatey without being cloying. Serve a thin wedge with whipped cream and watch folks close their eyes mid-bite.

Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the dry ingredients until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly drizzle in the ice water, stirring just until the dough starts to come together. Shape it into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"instruction-step-2\" data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1420\"><strong data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1327\">2. Heat the Oven<\/strong><br data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1330\" \/>While your dough chills, preheat the oven to <strong data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1392\">350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong> so it\u2019s ready when you are.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"instruction-step-3\" data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1738\"><strong data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1455\">3. Roll and Prepare the Crust<\/strong><br data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1458\" \/>On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to line a 9-inch pie pan. Gently transfer it to the pan, trimming any overhang and pressing the dough into the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom lightly \u2014 this helps prevent air bubbles during baking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"instruction-step-4\" data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"2002\"><strong data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1762\">4. Mix the Filling<\/strong><br data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1765\" \/>In a separate large bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract, then fold in the pecan halves and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"instruction-step-5\" data-start=\"2004\" data-end=\"2315\"><strong data-start=\"2004\" data-end=\"2028\">5. Assemble and Bake<\/strong><br data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2031\" \/>Pour the chocolate-pecan mixture into your prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. Place the pie in the oven and bake for <strong data-start=\"2154\" data-end=\"2174\">50 to 60 minutes<\/strong>, or until the filling is mostly set but still has a gentle wobble in the center. (That\u2019s how you know it\u2019ll be perfectly gooey once cooled!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"instruction-step-6\" data-start=\"2317\" data-end=\"2520\"><strong data-start=\"2317\" data-end=\"2343\">6. Cool Before Serving<\/strong><br data-start=\"2343\" data-end=\"2346\" \/>Transfer the baked pie to a wire rack and let it cool for at least <strong data-start=\"2413\" data-end=\"2424\">2 hours<\/strong> before slicing. This rest time allows the filling to fully set \u2014 trust me, it\u2019s worth the wait.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 data-start=\"2527\" data-end=\"2549\"><strong data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2547\">Serving Tip<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2550\" data-end=\"2715\">Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
