Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 0.75 cup Dark brown sugar, packed
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Pecan halves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Flute the edges if desired.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, and dark brown sugar until well combined.
Stir in the melted butter, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Spread the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust, followed by the pecan halves.
Pour the filling mixture over the chocolate chips and pecans, making sure the nuts are evenly distributed.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.
If the crust edges brown too quickly during baking, cover them with strips of aluminum foil or a pie crust shield.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2–3 hours. This step helps the filling set properly.
Once cooled, slice and serve the pie as-is, or top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
