Chocolate Pecan Cranberry Pie – a sweet addition to your dessert table. Made with pecans & cranberries, it has traditional holiday flavors but with a twist.

This Chocolate Pecan Cranberry Pie is a sweet and decadent holiday must! It’s beautiful, uniquely traditional, and a great way to impress the family or guests!

This holiday season shake up what goes in your pie plate and try this twist on your traditional pecan pie and make this Chocolate Pecan Cranberry Pie. My husband’s favorite pie for the Thanksgiving holiday and Christmas too is my Chocolate Pecan Pie. The thing is I am not a huge pecan pie fan. I love the texture it’s more about the sweetness for me, so that’s when I came up with this recipe, a twist on pecan pie, it hit all the marks for me.

Beautiful, festive, and full of Christmas flavor—almost too pretty to eat!

After making this for a couple of holiday seasons I found that I actually love pecans. It was one of those “relationships” that developed over time. Now I love them roasted, in cookies – my favorite being my Chocolate Pecan Pie Cookies and even Pecan Pie Toffee Bark {my fav}!

Sandra’s Tips

A pecan pie is done when the center sets—test by inserting a knife; if it comes out clean, it’s ready. Bake 30–35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
Pecan pie should be refrigerated unless you plan to serve it within two hours of baking.
Refrigerate pies with eggs or dairy (cream, custard, pumpkin, mousse, chiffon). Fruit pies can sit at room temperature for up to two days.
I love a good pie crust and typically pull it from my friend Dorothy’s site Crazy for Crust, naturally, she would have the best recipe out there. I prefer her All-Butter Pie Crust.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Get out your prepared pie crust and roll out and place in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Add & layer with cranberries first, then pecans and ending with chocolate chunks into the crust-lined pie pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then add brown sugar, corn syrup, flour, and orange zest. Beat well. Pour the mixture over the cranberries, pecan and chocolate.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes of baking cover with spray-coated foil and cook for another 15 to 25 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is set in center. Remove pie from the oven and cool completely, approximately 2 hours. If desired, serve with whipped cream. And garnish with orange zest. Store in refrigerator.
