Ingredients

  • 1 9” pie crust, chilled
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • whipped cream for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375˚F. Line pie crust with parchment paper then fill with 1 lb dry beans or pie weights. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove crust from oven. Remove paper and weights from crust. Dock the bottom of crust with fork then bake for another 7 minutes. Allow crust to cool while preparing filling.
  2. Turn oven down to 350˚F. Mix together flour, sugar, eggs, butter, bourbon, vanilla, and salt. Fold in pecans and chocolate.
  3. Pour filling into pie crust and bake for 35-40 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cover edges of crust with foil halfway through baking if needed to avoid burning.
