How to Make Platte County Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and let cool for 4-5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs thoroughly.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar and 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour to the eggs, beating well after each addition.
  5. Gently pour the cooled melted butter into the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup (150g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 2 cups (300g) semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  8. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence!
