Brownie pecan pie is a rich, indulgent dessert that layers fudgy brownie batter beneath a sweet, crunchy pecan pie topping. It’s a decadent twist on a holiday classic, perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself.

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
  • 2 large eggs (for pecan topping)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for pecan topping)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • Whole pecans for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk in granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, and vanilla until glossy.
  4. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
  5. Spread brownie batter evenly into the prepared pie crust.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix corn syrup, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and chopped pecans for the pecan topping.
  7. Carefully spoon the pecan mixture over the brownie batter.
  8. Top with whole pecans if desired.
  9. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until center is set and top is golden and crackly.
  10. Cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Add a splash of bourbon to the pecan topping for extra depth.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top after baking for a sweet-salty finish.
  • Use a mix of chopped and whole pecans for varied texture.
  • Great for make-ahead—flavors deepen overnight.
  • Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature.
