Description
Rich, gooey, and decadent Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. This pie combines earthy pecans, deep chocolate, and smoky bourbon in a crisp, buttery crust for a sophisticated twist on a Southern classic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups pecans (roughly chopped and toasted)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using homemade dough, prepare and chill it. Otherwise, press your store-bought pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and bourbon until well combined.
- Gently fold in the toasted pecans and bittersweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the filling evenly into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, tent them with aluminum foil.
- Let the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For an extra nutty flavor, toast your pecans before adding them to the filling.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- This pie can be made ahead of time and stores well at room temperature.
- You can substitute dark chocolate for bittersweet chocolate chips.
- If you prefer not to use bourbon, you can omit it or replace it with an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract.
