This rich and decadent Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie combines the classic nutty texture of pecans with smooth semisweet chocolate chips and a hint of bourbon for a flavorful twist on a traditional Southern dessert. Perfect for holiday gatherings or special occasions, this pie features a sweet, gooey filling nestled in a flaky, golden pie crust.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
  2. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Chocolate and Pecans: Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips and pecan halves, distributing them evenly throughout the filling.
  4. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared filling mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center, and the crust should turn golden brown.
  6. Cool Before Serving: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling sets the filling properly and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • To prevent the crust from over-browning, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield after about 40 minutes of baking.
  • Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Letting the pie cool completely (at least 2 hours) improves the filling’s texture.
  • For a boozy kick, add an extra teaspoon of bourbon, but be careful not to add too much liquid to affect the filling consistency.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
