Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread the semi-sweet chocolate chips and broken pecans in the bottom of unbaked shallow pie shells.
- Beat the eggs, sugar, Karo white syrup, and melted butter together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the chips and nuts in the pie shells.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 45 minutes until set and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a teaspoon of sea salt to enhance the flavors. If you don't have Karo syrup, light corn syrup can be used as a substitute. You can also replace pecans with walnuts for a different nutty flavor. Make sure to beat the mixture until fully combined for a smooth filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. A dollop of whipped cream also pairs beautifully with the rich filling. Consider serving alongside a light salad or fresh fruit to balance the sweetness. This dessert is perfect for gatherings or as a comforting treat after dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Chocolate Chip Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through, to restore its texture. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the crust soggy.
