Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Gather your ingredients and have a 9-inch unbaked deep-dish pie shell ready.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped pecans, eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until all the ingredients are well blended.
  3. Carefully pour the filling into your prepared unbaked pie shell, ensuring even distribution across the crust.
  4. Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour until the top is set and slightly puffed.
  5. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Slice the pie and serve it slightly warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
