Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter, chocolate chips, and evaporated milk over low heat.
- Stir until smooth, then add sugar, flour, and salt; mix well.
- Add slightly beaten eggs, vanilla, and chopped pecans; stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you want a nuttier taste, you can toast the pecans before adding them to the mixture. Be careful not to overmix after adding the eggs, as this can affect the texture of the pie. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can substitute with half-and-half.
Serving Suggestions
This Chocolate Chip Pie is delicious on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast. For a complete dessert experience, browse more American recipes that feature chocolate to satisfy your sweet tooth.
