Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
- Stir in sugar, flour, melted butter, chocolate pieces, chopped walnuts, salt, lemon juice, and light corn syrup until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and set, but still moist.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate pieces. You can also substitute pecans for walnuts if you prefer. To ensure a perfectly set pie, avoid overmixing the filling after adding the eggs. Additionally, letting the pie cool for a bit before slicing will help it hold its shape better.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chocolate-Chip Walnut Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie a day in advance. Simply bake it and allow it to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld together, making it even more delicious when served.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a mashed banana for each egg. This will alter the flavor slightly but will keep the pie moist.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when it’s golden brown around the edges and somewhat set in the center. It should still have a slight jiggle, indicating it’s moist but not runny. Allow it to cool before slicing for the best texture.
