Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pie crust (store-bought or homemade, 9-inch)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 as desired whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the 9-inch pie crust by placing it in a pie dish if it's not pre-assembled. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour.
Add the eggs to the sugar-flour mixture, one at a time, and whisk until fully incorporated.
Stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and bourbon until smooth and well-mixed.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A slight jiggle in the center is fine, as the pie will continue to set as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
