Tollhouse Pie
A rich, indulgent chocolate chip pecan pie with a buttery crust, perfect for dessert lovers and special occasions seeking a sweet, nutty treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy.
- Add flour, sugar, and brown sugar; beat until well blended.
- Blend in melted butter.
- Stir in chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 325°F for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix. To enhance the texture, add a pinch of salt to the batter. Make sure to let the melted butter cool before mixing, as hot butter can cook the eggs.
Serving Suggestions
Tollhouse Pie is delightful on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Chocolate Waffles With Strawberry Cream for a decadent brunch. For a festive touch, drizzle with chocolate sauce or serve with fresh berries. This pie also complements a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine for a lovely evening treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of pie crust?
Yes, you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust or a homemade crust made from crushed cookies for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the crust is unbaked before adding the filling to achieve the best texture.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when it is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter. It will continue to firm up as it cools.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap. For the best flavor and texture, reheat it gently before serving.
