Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked homemade pecan pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Kentucky bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, corn syrup, heavy cream, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar mixture. Whisk until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Stir in the dark chocolate chips and the pecan halves until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Carefully pour the filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
- 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 helps the gooey filling set properly.
- Slice and serve your rich and nutty pie.
Notes
- For a flakier crust, chill your pie dough for at least 30 minutes before filling and baking.
- If you prefer a less boozy flavor, reduce the bourbon to 2 tablespoons and substitute the remaining amount with water or extra corn syrup.
- Use good quality dark chocolate chips for the best flavor in this decadent chocolate pie.
