Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Melt Butter and Chocolate: Combine the butter and chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Beat Eggs and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs in a bowl for about 3 minutes until frothy. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture becomes pale yellow and well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Slowly add the melted chocolate and butter mixture along with the vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Beat until everything is thoroughly blended.
Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the flour and salt gradually, beating just until the batter is blended. Gently stir in half of the toasted pecans (½ cup).
Transfer and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 43 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve topped with the remaining toasted pecans, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup if desired for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
Do not overbake; the pie should remain fudgy inside.
To toast pecans: spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350ºF for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through.
This pie can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
For an intensified chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cacao.
