Ingredients
- 1/2 recipe all butter pie crust
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar , lightly packed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons bourbon (depending on how strong you want it)
- 2 cups toasted pecans , coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Follow the instructions in the all-butter pie dough recipe to make a blind baked, single crust pie, in a 9-inch pie plate. After the crust is prepared, place the baking sheet back on the rack and keep oven on at 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, eggs, brown sugar, salt, butter, vanilla, and bourbon, until smooth. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips.
- Pour filling into the blind baked crust. If desired, ring the outer edge of the filling with un-toasted, halved pecans, as shown in the photos above.
- Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, until edges are set and a circle in the very center is just a bit jiggly when you move the pan. Watch the edges of the pie closely during the baking process. If they're starting to brown too quickly, cover them with a foil sling.
- Cool pie for at least an hour, until just slightly warm. Serve with vanilla ice cream or cinnamon whipped cream.
Notes
- Place shelled, halved pecans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 5-8 minutes, until fragrant.
- Place 1 cup chilled heavy cream in a bowl and start to whip it on medium speed with a hand mixer, just until it starts to get frothy. Slowly add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and whip until soft peaks form.
- If making the pie a day ahead of serving, heat the whole pie on a baking sheet in the oven at 250 degrees F for 10 to 20 minutes.
