Recipe Tips
Pro Tips for Perfect Chocolate Pecan Pie
- Crust protection: If you notice the edges of your crust browning too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking.
- The jiggle test: When checking for doneness, the center should jiggle slightly like set gelatin but not be liquid. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
- Toast the pecans: For enhanced flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the pie.
- Chocolate selection: While semi-sweet chocolate chips work perfectly, you can experiment with dark chocolate for a less sweet filling or milk chocolate for a sweeter version.
- Room temperature eggs: Using eggs at room temperature helps them incorporate more smoothly into the filling.
