How to Make Mocha Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup pecans, toasted

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the pie crust by fitting it into a 9-inch pie pan. Chill it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the toasted pecans until they are evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is slightly puffed.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve with whipped cream if you like.
