Chocolate Coconut Pecan Pie is a decadent twist on the classic pecan pie, combining rich chocolate, sweet coconut, and crunchy pecans in a buttery, flaky crust. This pie is perfect for special occasions or holiday gatherings when you want to impress with a dessert that’s both indulgent and unique. The layers of flavor and texture—gooey chocolate, chewy coconut, and the nutty crunch of pecans—come together to create an irresistible slice of comfort. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Top with an even layer of shredded coconut, followed by the chopped pecans.
- Pour the egg mixture over the chocolate, coconut, and pecans, spreading it evenly across the pie.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You may need to cover the edges of the pie crust with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing.
