Make this rich, gooey Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for a showstopper holiday dessert. It combines dark chocolate, crunchy pecans, and a warm bourbon kick in a flaky crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust, flaky
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup good quality bourbon
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and bourbon until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Stir in the chopped chocolate and pecan halves until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  6. Carefully pour the filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still have a slight jiggle. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the gooey filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For a Kentucky Bourbon Dessert flavor, use a well-known Kentucky bourbon brand.
  • If you want an even gooier texture, slightly reduce the corn syrup to 1/3 cup.
  • To achieve a flaky crust, keep your butter cold when preparing the crust.
