Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 nine-inch pie shell I made my own crust this time but you can buy it too
  • 1 Cup sugar
  • 1 Cup light corn syrup
  • ½ Cup Butter
  • 4 Eggs beaten
  • ¼ Cup Bourbon this is optional and can be left out – it cooks out though
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Cup pecans roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 325F or 165C
  2. In a small saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir continuously while med heat dissolves the sugar and melts butter. Take off burner and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, bourbon, vanilla, and salt.
  4. Temper egg mixture by whisking eggs while streaming ¼ Cup corn syrup mixture into bowl.
  5. Then, while whisking corn syrup mixture in saucepan, stream egg mixture in. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
  7. Pour into prepared pie shell.
  8. Cook for 50-55 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.

Recipe Notes

I always make some whipped cream on top, which is wonderful!
