Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in ice water until the dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the crust chills.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, pricking the bottom with a fork.
  4. Prepare the Filling: Whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs. Stir in vanilla, then fold in pecans and chocolate chips.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 50-60 minutes until set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

Ensure your butter is cold for a flaky crust. Allow the pie to cool completely for the best texture.
