Ingredients

The following ingredients have 11 Servings
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick)
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (approximately 1 cup)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a deep dish pie plate with the pie crust, set aside.
  • Combine sugar, corn syrup and butter in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until butter melts and sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to just above room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, combine egg, bourbon, vanilla and salt. Mix thoroughly. Very slowly pour cooled sugar mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly so that the heat from the sugar mixture doesn’t cook the egg mixture. Make sure the mixture is not hot enough to melt the chocolate too much then add the chocolate chips and pecans and stir to mix well.
  • Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until set and golden on top.
  • Serve warm or chilled.
