Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Avoid dark or white chocolate for the best result.
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans Ensure you measure one cup after chopping for accuracy.
  • 3 Eggs Use room temperature eggs for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Do not substitute with brown sugar for the best texture and taste.
  • 1/2 cup Butter (unsalted) If using salted butter, reduce any added salt slightly.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Do not use self-rising flour to prevent a messy bake.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Any vanilla brand works, can substitute with vanilla flavoring if preferred.
For the Crust

Step-by-Step Instructions for Kentucky Pecan Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather all your ingredients and tools for a smooth process.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine room temperature eggs, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and smooth, then fold in chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  3. Place the deep dish unbaked pie shell on a baking sheet. Pour the filling mixture into the shell, ensuring it's evenly spread.
  4. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until the top is golden brown and the center has a slight jiggle.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.
