Bourbon Chocolate Pecan pie
Description
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust: homemade or store-bought, we don’t judge!
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Kentucky bourbon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups toasted pecans, divided
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your dough. Use your go-to recipe, or store-bought dough is absolutely fine. Roll the dough out until it will fit in and up the sides of a 10-10.25” skillet; press the crust into the pan and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat. Melt completely and cook until small brown flecks form at the bottom and it begins to smell nutty.
- In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, sugar, and browned butter. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until smooth. Stir in bourbon, vanilla, flour, and salt.
- Fold in 1.5 cups toasted pecans and chocolate chunks.
- Pour into the pie crust. Stud with remaining pecans and bake for 35-40 minutes. The edges should be set and slightly puffed.
- Rest 1 hour before slicing, and you’re ready to serve!
