Make this rich and gooey Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for your next gathering. It combines dark chocolate, toasted pecans, and Kentucky bourbon in a flaky crust for a showstopper holiday dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked flaky pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup good quality bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place your unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  3. Add the melted butter, eggs, corn syrup, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar mixture. Whisk until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecan halves until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  5. Pour the entire filling mixture carefully into the unbaked pie crust.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This cooling time is important for the gooey filling to set properly.
  8. Slice and serve this indulgent fall baking treat.

Notes

  • For a less boozy flavor, reduce the bourbon to 2 tablespoons and replace the remaining liquid with water or milk.
  • If you prefer a darker chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • You can toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling for deeper flavor.
  • This pie is excellent served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
