How to Make Chocolate Walnut Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or in a double boiler over low heat.
  3. Pour melted chocolate evenly into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup light corn syrup, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 ½ cups of walnut halves.
  6. Pour the walnut mixture into the chocolate-lined pie shell.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are slightly puffed. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
  10. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream.
