A rich and indulgent Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie combining the classic buttery pecan filling with the deep flavors of bourbon and semisweet chocolate chips, all baked to perfection in a flaky 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 optimal temperature for baking the pie evenly.
  2. Mix 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 the semisweet chocolate chips and pecan halves into the filling mixture, distributing them evenly.
  4. Pour into pie crust: Carefully pour the filling mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake the pie: Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. To check doneness, the filling should be slightly puffed and not jiggle when nudged.
  6. Cool before serving: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Cooling lets the filling set fully and enhances the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger bourbon flavor, you can add an extra tablespoon of bourbon, but be careful not to add too much liquid to affect the filling consistency.
  • To prevent the pie edges from over-browning, cover them with foil halfway through baking if necessary.
  • For best results, use fresh pecans and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Allowing the pie to cool fully enhances the texture and makes slicing easier.
  • This pie can be made a day ahead and stored covered at room temperature.
