Make this rich, gooey Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for your next holiday gathering. This recipe combines dark chocolate, toasted pecans, and Kentucky bourbon in a flaky crust for an indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (flaky crust recommended)
  • 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 unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup 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 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 large bowl, whisk the eggs until they are lightly beaten. Add the corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and bourbon to the eggs. Whisk until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry sugar mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped chocolate and the pecan halves until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling mixture.
  6. Pour the filling carefully into the unbaked pie crust.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still slightly jiggly. If the crust edges begin 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 richer chocolate flavor, use dark or bittersweet chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you prefer not to use bourbon, substitute it with an equal amount of strong brewed coffee or extra corn syrup for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Toasting the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling deepens their nutty flavor.
  • Serve this pie slightly warm or at room temperature with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
