Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Press the 1 pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp butter over medium until steaming, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1.5 cups chocolate chips; let stand 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the chocolate mixture into the baked crust. Sprinkle 0.5 cup chopped pecans evenly over the top.

  4. Step 4

    Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours. Slice and serve chilled.
