Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Pie
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup pecans, toasted and roughly chopped Opt for fresh pecans; they should be firm and crunchy.
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Melt for the filling.
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar Adjust for sweetness according to preference.
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade crust, roll it out to fit a 9-inch pie plate, and crimp the edges. If using a store-bought crust, simply place it in the pie plate.
  2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 5-7 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
  3. Using a microwave or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly incorporate the melted chocolate until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the toasted pecans.
  6. Pour the chocolate and pecan filling into the prepared crust.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the pie is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. It will firm up as it cools.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped tightly. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), cover with foil, and warm for 15-20 minutes.
