Description

This tar heel pie recipe yields a very rich pie made with chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. It’s best if it’s underbaked and gooey, like a brownie.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
2 Pour warm melted butter over ¾ cup chocolate chips in a large bowl; stir until smooth. Whisk flour, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a separate bowl; stir into chocolate mixture. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Fold in pecans, coconut, and remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips; pour into pie crust.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until top is set (it might crack slightly), 35 to 40 minutes. The pie is best if underbaked.
