Chocolate Chip Nut Pie
A rich and indulgent chocolate chip nut pie featuring pecans and a tender crust, perfect for dessert gatherings or satisfying your sweet tooth craving.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar, self-rising flour, melted butter, beaten eggs, chopped pecans, chocolate chips, and vanilla together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour until set and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Make sure to mix the ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can lead to a denser pie. You can also try adding a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chocolate Chip Nut Pie warm or at room temperature for the best texture. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream pairs beautifully, enhancing the rich chocolate flavor. This pie can also be a delightful addition to a dessert table alongside American recipes like Rice Custard or Katie Randall's Crustless Brownie Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate the pie, where it can last up to a week. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different nuts in this recipe?
Absolutely! While pecans add a lovely flavor and texture, you can substitute them with walnuts or even almonds if you prefer. Just make sure to chop them roughly so they distribute well throughout the pie.
What can I do if the pie doesn't set after baking?
If your pie doesn't set, it may need more baking time. Ensure your oven is properly preheated and consider adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time. If it still remains unset, it may need to cool completely to firm up.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie can be made a day in advance. Just be sure to cool it completely before covering it with plastic wrap. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully overnight, making it even more delicious when served.
