How To Make Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie

First, gather all your ingredients.

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 & 1/2 cups pecan halves
1/2 recipe Master Pie Crust, blind baked (or store bought pie dough)
1/3 cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
9.5-inch Glass or Ceramic Pie Pan
OPTIONAL: Homemade Sweet Whipped Cream or store bought

Next, preheat the oven to 325°F degrees.

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate and butter on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping and stirring every 45 seconds until melted. Whisk together until smooth, then add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.

Whisk in the sugar, corn syrup, salt, eggs, egg yolk, Bourbon, and vanilla until smooth.

Sprinkle 1 cup of the pecans evenly across the bottom of the blind-baked crust or store bought pie dough baked and slowly pour in the filling in a spiral motion, working from the inside out.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the pie, then arrange the remaining pecans on top of the chocolate chip layer in a decorative pattern.

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake until the center of the pie has puffed and the filling jiggles only slightly when the pan is gently shaken, about 45 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack and cool for several hours before cutting and serving.

Serve with homemade sweet whipped cream or store bought whipped cream.

Homemade Sweet Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

In the chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer, whip the cream, confectioners sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks from, 2 minutes.

Cover and chill until ready to use.

Tips & Tricks

This pie can be made the day before serving.
You can leave out the bourbon and increase the vanilla by one tablespoon.
Use a good Bourbon like Jim Beam® Bourbon Whiskey.
A quick tip is to use a good quality chocolate. Trust me, it will make your cookie taste that much better. My favorite go-to chocolate chips are Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. They are seriously the best chocolate chips.
I like to place the pie pan on a baking sheet just incase any pie filling boils over. I love the LARGE baking pan I got from my favorite store Target Wilton Ultra Bake Professional.
My favorite go-to baking book is The Sprinkles Baking Book: 100 Secret Recipes from Candace’s Kitchen.
For all-purpose flour I love using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour. I first fell in love with this brand when I started eating healthy back in 2012, shortly after our twins were born. I first tried their Steel Cut Oats. Then when I had more time to bake I started using a lot of their other products such as, Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Gluten Free Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Pastry Flour, Bread Flour, and Xanthan Gum. They have so much more too! Baking mixes, Oats, Bars, Cereal, Granola, Grains, Beans, Seeds, Baking Aids, and more Flours! Seriously go check them out. Best quality baking products out there and no I am not getting paid to say this, I just love their products that much!
Since I bake quite often I like to buy stuff in bulk. I love buying my flour, sugars, pure vanilla extract, butter, oil, eggs, and spices at Costco.
Costco, Target, & Amazon are my favorite stores to shop at!
