Ingredients
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 (12 oz.) package semisweet chocolate morsels
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 (9-inch) frozen unbaked piecrust shell
- Ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the evaporated milk, chocolate morsels, and butter. Microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Prepare the Filling: Whisk the sugar and flour into the chocolate mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans, then pour the mixture into the pie crust.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Serve warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
Tip: While preparing the filling, if you need to step away briefly, give it a quick stir before pouring it into the crust. This prevents the sugar from settling at the bottom, ensuring an even texture throughout the pie.
