How to Make Ghirardelli Chocolate Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 12 ounces of Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat together 3 large eggs, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined and light.
  4. Gradually beat in the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in 2 cups pecan halves.
  6. Pour the filling into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  8. Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are slightly puffed. The center may still jiggle slightly.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature. This allows the filling to set properly.
  10. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
  11. Cut the pie into 8 wedges and serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
