Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chocolate Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 6-8 tablespoons ice water
- For the Pecan Layer:
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Make the Chocolate Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, trim and crimp the edges.
- Make the Pecan Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in salt and pecan halves.
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared chocolate crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
